Council tax support helps people who have no income or a low income to pay their council tax.
We can’t backdate council tax support, so it’s important to apply as soon as possible.
Due to essential maintenance our Council tax or benefit online forms will be unavailable from 8am-1pm Saturday 7 November 2026. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Registering for an account is free and easy and will allow you to view your council tax support and housing benefit online
You may be entitled to money off your council tax bill, or you may not have to pay at all (called an exemption)
Housing Benefit is for help with rent payments if you're not working, on a low income, or in receipt of other benefits
