Council Tax reductions or exemptions available for older people, low income households, carers and students.
People struggling to pay their Council Tax during the ongoing cost of living crisis could be eligible for money off their 2023/24 bill, even though payments started in April. The Council Tax Reduction scheme is unique to Scotland and helps people on low incomes knock an average of £750 off their annual bill.
The Council Tax Reduction scheme celebrated its 10th anniversary in April and Scottish households have saved more than £3 billion on their Council Tax bills since it was first introduced. Could you be eligible for a discount on your Council Tax bill? There are some circumstances where you may get a reduction on your Council Tax and the amount of discount varies depending on your circumstances.
Just be aware, this doesn’t apply if the person receiving care is the partner of the carer, or is the carer’s child aged under 18. Alternatively, if you can afford to pay the whole bill in one lump sum, check with your local council if you can get a discount.
