Service Description: Local Council Tax Support (LCTS) is the new scheme following the abolition of Council Tax Benefit on 31 March 2013. LCTS helps people on low income pay their Council Tax. If awarded, LCTS is deducted from your Council Tax liability, reducing your bill. To claim LCTS you must be the person liable to pay the council tax bill for a property.
Also known as:- Council Tax Benefit, Council Tax Rebate, Council Tax Support, CTS, LCTS
Answer: The current appeals process will remain in place where you believe there has been a mistake or a decision is wrong. You can appeal against the calculation of your local council tax scheme award by writing to the Council in the first instance to ask for them to look at it again. If you are still not satisfied, you can write to the Valuation Tribunal for England or any other organisation that may be specified within the regulation.
