Council Tax Support Fund 2024
Recognising the increase in rising bills, Winchester City Council is providing additional funding to support the most vulnerable households in the district with their Council Tax payments.
A maximum £30 discount has been awarded to all Council Tax Reduction (CTR) claimants that have an outstanding Council Tax liability for the 2024/25 financial year. This is shown as an additional reduction on your Council Tax bill. If after CTR is applied to your 2024/25 Council Tax liability there is a balance, you will receive a Council Tax Support Fund (CTSF) payment. If the outstanding balance is below £30, your CTSF payment will reduce your liability to £0. If your outstanding balance is £30 or over, you will receive a £30 CTSF payment.
This scheme will run from 1 April 2024 and payments will be made to all new CTR applicants if they meet the above criteria.
The Council reserves the right to end the scheme should the funds be exhausted.
