Council tax - band reductions incl. disability

If you or any member of your household is disabled and your home contains:-

• A second bathroom or kitchen required for meeting the needs of the disabled person
• A room set aside to provide facilities for the disabled person
• Sufficient room for the disabled person to use their wheelchair indoors

You may qualify for a reduction in your Council Tax bill. If you qualify for any reduction, the amount of Council Tax payable will be based on the band below that in which your property has been placed.

From 1 April 2000 you can receive this reduction even if your house is in Band A.

If you want more information about reductions for people with disabilities, contact the Revenues Section.

Regular checking of all reductions will be carried out. If your circumstances change you must contact the Revenues Section immediately.
