How is it calculated?
From 01 April 2024 we are changing the way in which we calculate Local Council Tax Support.
The calculation works by placing your weekly income into a corresponding ‘band’ based on your household type.
The discount you are eligible to receive (77%,50%,25%,15%) is applied directly to your Council Tax bill. You will be sent a new bill if your discount changes.
The capital/savings/assets limit is £10,000 meaning you will not be eligible if you have £10,000 or over.
The new scheme cannot give premiums, so there will be an amount deducted of £50.00 per week for every Disabled Child Premium, Disability Premium and Severe Disability Premium that would have been awarded under the LCTS. i.e. if someone has a total income of £500.00 per week and there would be 2 disabled child premiums (£50.00 x 2 = £100.00) and 1 severe disability premium (£50.00 x1) in the LCTS calculation, the income used to calculate the award will be £500.00 less £150.00 = £350.00 per week.
