How much council tax should I be paying?

JumpingJames

So I am a litle confused about how much council tax I should be paying for now and future reference, and the answers online are confusing as they do not give much information.

I am single male 32, on UC LCWRA, and get PIP higher rate daily living and lower rate mobility. I live alone in a 2-bedroom terraced house and get £468.**** in UC housing element.

My council tax is Band A £1419.67 and I get 25% sole occupier discount.

Thank you.

Hi,
All local councils have their own rules so no one can answer that question.

As long as you ensure the local authority have all the information they require you should in theory be given a correct council tax bill.

If you need to query this, you will need to look at your own local authorities rules and see that they have all been applied.

CTR is a local scheme so “maximum” in your area won’t be the same as maximum in my area. It almost certainly won’t be 100% of your CT.

Mine is and has been since the start of the pandemic. Before that i used to pay about £9 per month.

I think extra money was provided by government to further reduce bills for those on CTR by up to £150/annum as part of the pandemic response. You should probably expect to pay again next year.

Yes, that's exactly the reason for not paying anything.

Although some still do I agree that they are now a rare breed.
