Minutes:
The Committee considered a report by the Revenues and Benefits Manager (circulated previously) regarding the Council Tax Reduction Scheme.
The Head of Customer Focus highlighted the following:
· No changes were being proposed to the scheme for the year 2024-25.
· Members had agreed to implement a Council Tax Discount of up to 100% from 1 October 2023 for Care Leavers. This discount was to be administered via the Council Tax Reduction Exceptional Hardship Policy.
· A copy of the updated Policy reflecting the Care Leavers change could be seen at Appendix B of the report.
RECOMMENDED that Council adopts and continues with the current Council Tax Reduction Scheme for 2024/25 to include the uprating of applicable amounts, premiums and non-dependant deductions.
