Council tax benefit

If you are on a low income you may be able to get council tax benefit, which is a government benefit paid by your local council.

The benefit will help towards the cost of your council tax.

The amount of benefit you will receive depends on:

  • who lives with you;
  • the amount of money you have coming in;
  • any other benefits you receive and any savings you have.

For more information and advice on this please speak to your local council.
