Council Tax Reduction Scheme
Meeting: 27/01/2022 - Cabinet (Item 60)
60 2022 - 23 Council Tax Reduction Scheme PDF 148 KB
To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Finance
Decision:
RESOLVED to recommend to Council
To agree to no changes in the Council Tax Reduction scheme for 2022/23.
REASON
Council Tax Reduction schemes are annual schemes and therefore require an annual review and approval, even when no changes to the scheme are being proposed. Review work on the scheme showed the scheme remains affordable for Horsham District Council and provides a good level of support to our less well-off residents.
Minutes:
Councillor Hogben advised that Horsham’s current CTR scheme provided financial support for those on low incomes to help them afford their Council Tax payments. The scheme was means tested and helped the more vulnerable in society. It was proposed that the scheme remained unchanged for 2022/23.
