Budget engagement
Cornwall Council plays a big part in people’s lives, and every year, we spend over a billion pounds providing public services that you, your family and friends use every day....Cornwall Council is no exception....The increased costs far outstrip the increased funding announced in the Government’s Autumn Budget and the additional income we will receive through the introduction of doubling council tax on Second Homes (the 100% Council Tax Premium on Second Homes).

How savings and capital affect Council Tax support
If you claim Council Tax Support any capital and/or savings could have an impact on the amount you receive....Any capital and/or savings you have are ignored if you are in receipt of any of the following:
Income Support
Income based Job Seekers Allowance
Income Related Employment and Support Allowance
Guaranteed Pension Credit
If you do not get one of the benefits listed above, then we will look at the savings of you, your partner and any dependent children:
If you are single your own capital and/or savings are taken into account
If you are a couple, the capital and/or savings of you and your partner are taken into account
If your children have any savings and/or capital, this is not usually taken into account
If you are of working age and have savings and/or capital of more than £6,000.00 you can’t get any Council Tax Support....If you are Pension Age and have savings and/or capital of more than £16,000.00 you can’t get any Council Tax Support
If you are of Pension Age and you have savings and/or capital over £10,000.00 but below £16,000.00 then you could get Council Tax Support but it will be reduced by taking an assumed amount of income into account.
