Council tax benefit

Transcript of video

If you are liable to pay council tax you can apply for council tax benefit. If you are on a low wage and have savings or capital below a certain amount, you may be able to get a reduction in your council tax. The amount of benefit that you may get depends on your circumstances.

Even if you do not qualify for council tax benefit in your own right, you may be entitled to claim a second adult rebate for other adults living with you as long as they do not pay you rent and are on a low income. But this does not apply to partners. Although second adult rebate is for other adults in the property, the person responsible for paying the council tax must make the claim.
