You may be eligible for several types of reductions on your Council Tax, depending on your individual circumstances. Here's a breakdown of the main options available in Sevenoaks:
| Type of Reduction | Eligibility Criteria |
|---|---|
| Council Tax Reduction | Low income, in or out of work, receives state benefits. |
| Discounts for Working Age | Maximum discount of 80% based on net income. Savings above £6,000 disqualify. |
| Pension Credit Age Discounts | Based on government-set rules for those of pension credit age. |
| Exceptional Hardship Payments | Must be entitled to Council Tax Reduction or have received it in the last six weeks. |
| Crisis & Resilience Fund | Available for housing costs if entitled to Housing Benefit or Universal Credit. |
Each type has specific criteria, and you can apply for multiple reductions if eligible. Be sure to apply rather than expecting automatic adjustments to your Council Tax bill. For detailed information and application forms, you can visit Council Tax Reduction page.
