Local Council Tax Support

What is LCTS?

LCTS is a scheme to help people on a low income pay their Council Tax. The amount of support you can get will depend on your income and your personal circumstances.

All working-age customers will have to pay at least 25% of their council tax. LCTS will be limited to a maximum 75% of the council tax bill.

If you are of state retirement pension age or receive pension credit, LCTS will be calculated on your full Council Tax charge.
