Who can get council tax reduction
You qualify for CTR if:
•you or your partner are liable for council tax for the home in which you live; and
•you are ‘habitually resident’ in the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands or Isle of Man, have a ‘right to reside’ in the UK, and are not a ‘person subject to immigration control’. These terms are explained in CPAG’s Welfare Benefits and Tax Credits Handbook; and
•you and your partner have savings of £16,000 or less, unless you are on guarantee credit of pension credit (PC), in which case your capital is not taken into account; and
•your income is sufficiently low.
