Local Council Tax Reduction Scheme 2022

In October 2021 Fenland District Council proposed a change to its Council Tax Support scheme that would take effect from 1 April 2022. If implemented, these changes would affect:

1. the threshold for how much capital a customer can own (for example, savings) and still be entitled to a Council Tax reduction
2. the impact that living with non-dependent friends or family members has on the Council Tax reduction that a customer receives
3. the relationship between the application processes for Universal Credit and for Local Council Tax Reduction
4. the way in which fluctuations in a customer's earning's are taken into account in LCTRS

The consultation finished on Sunday 5 December 2021 and feedback will now be considered before a final proposal is presented to councillors in early 2022.
