Angela Rayner did not rule out scrapping the 25 per cent discount when questioned in the Commons
You can apply for the discount if you are the only person in your home who is aged 18 or over and eligible to pay council tax.
And Ms Rayner replied: “I find it astonishing that members opposite, after running down the economy in the way that they have, after the Chancellor had to come to this House to talk about the billions of pounds black hole, that they’re now trying to claim that this Government is about raising taxes.”
So if the single person discount were scrapped, how much it would cost those eligible would depend on exactly where they live and what sort of property they live in.
