| 1 | {Forward Plan} Council Tax Reduction Scheme - 05/12/DR19 The current Council tax benefit system of relief will be localised from April 2013 under new legislation. A proposed reduction in government funding whilst maintaining the current Council tax benefit scheme could entail a loss on the Council's share of the Council tax yield of over £100k. Not maintaining the current scheme could impact severely on residents on fixed incomes. Optionally new powers for altering exemptions given on empty properties could mitigate the impact of reduced government funding but place a new burden on Council taxpayers. |
