Local Council Tax Support


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

Your FAQ

Question: If I make a claim for council tax benefit during March 2013, do I have to make another claim in April 2013 for the new council tax support scheme?

Answer: No. You do not have to make another claim as we will use this claim form to calculate both council tax benefit and council tax support, provided there is an entitlement to council tax benefit as at 31st March 2013.
