Council Tax Reduction Scheme

Meeting: 27/01/2022 - Cabinet (Item 60)

60 2022 - 23 Council Tax Reduction Scheme pdf icon 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.
