Decision details
2023/24 Council Tax Reduction Scheme
Decision Maker: Cabinet
Decision status: Recommend Forward to Council
Is Key decision?: Yes
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To recommend to Council the 2023/24 local Council Tax Reduction (CTR) scheme
Decision:
That:
a) The Council Tax Reduction Scheme for 2023/24, with the same parameters as the existing scheme, be recommended to Council for approval.
Alternative options considered:
1. The local CTR scheme discount was increased to its maximum level in 2021/22 and this was maintained in 2022/23. It cannot be increased further in 2023/24. A reduced discount could be proposed for 2023/24 however this is not recommended as it would limit the support offered to residents; maintaining the maximum level of discount in 2023/24 will ensure that eligible households receive support as the impact of the rising cost of living continues.
