    Council Tax Support/Reduction in Hastings 2019/20

    Requested Fri 01 March 2019
    Responded  Fri 08 March 2019

    I am updating our records to take account of any changes to the council tax reduction/support scheme in Hastings from April 2019.

    Please could you provide me with details of your council tax reduction scheme (sometime know as council tax support) for working-age claimants for 2019/20.

    If you have made any changes from the scheme you operated in 2018/19, please identify those changes.

    If you have already published your 2019/20 council tax reduction/support scheme policy document, please provide a link/copy.

    • Calculation taper increased to 25% from 20%

    • Family Premium removed

    • 2 Child restriction introduced

    • Flat-rate £5.00 per week non-dependant deduction

    • Tariff income re capital removed

    • Council Tax reduction capped at Band D equivalent
