Council Tax Support

The Government has provided Councils with some additional funding to help recipients of Council Tax Support.
 
Tameside residents who receive Council Tax Support will receive an additional payment of up to £25 to be deducted from their Council Tax Bill for 2023/2024.
The payment will also be made to Council Tax payers who have the following discounts:
 

• Severely Mentally Impaired
• Care Leaver
• Carer
• Disabled relief
• Severely

The payment will be added to the amount of your Council Tax Support reduction on your Council Tax Bill. The amount that you receive will depend on the following:
 

• The amount of liability that you have remaining after your Council Tax Support and any discounts has been deducted from your bill;
• If you have received the additional funding at a previous address, including in another Council area;
• The maximum that can be awarded is £25 in the financial year 2023/2024.

 

Universal Credit Claimants

 From 1^st April 2023 if you are making a new claim for Universal Credit and you agree for your data to be shared with us, the Council Tax service can use the new claim notification from Universal Credit as a new claim form for Council Tax Support which means you will not be required to complete an additional Council Tax Support claim form.
