We have funding available for households who are struggling to pay their Council Tax bill. There is a limited amount of funding available for this financial year ending March 2025.
The remaining funding of £100,000 is being made available to households who are struggling with paying their Council Tax bill on a case-by-case basis.
How we may be able to help
If you are in a difficult financial situation and paying your Council Tax bill is causing you financial difficulty, you may be eligible for some financial help.
To be eligible for this help you must be able to show that your financial situation is affecting your ability to pay your Council Tax bill.
If you are not already receiving a Council Tax reduction, we can look at if you are eligible for this.
If you have an outstanding amount unpaid on this year’s Council Tax bill, but you are not eligible for our Council Tax Reduction scheme, we may be able to make a payment towards your bill or clear your bill for the rest of the year.
What to do next
If you are struggling to pay your Council Tax, please contact the Council Tax team or our Welfare Rights team and ask about our hardship fund.
