Wandsworth Council Tax Reduction
Council Tax Reduction is to help people who are on a low income to pay part or all of their council tax. The amount of reduction you get depends on your circumstances and how much council tax you pay. You can use our Council Tax Support calculator for an estimate.
The government requires us to protect the claiming process for pension age claimants so there are two Council Tax Reduction schemes in place:
- The prescribed scheme for pensioners
- Our local Council Tax Reduction scheme for working age claimants
Eligibility
To qualify for Council Tax Reduction, you must be:
- On a low income
- Responsible for the Council Tax payment on your address
You can claim Council Tax Reduction whether you are working, unemployed, disabled, single, married etc. However, there may be some exceptions for example:
- You have come to live in the UK from abroad and have restrictions on your status
- You are a full-time student
- You live in residential care or nursing home
- You are working age and have savings over £6000
- You are pensioner age and have savings over £16,000
- You are working age, and your income is above the earned income caps
