Please also tell me what level of savings people can have before they will not get Council tax reduction or relief

e.g. If they have no savings they get the full relief due for their earnings

if they have £5,000 in savings they only get half the relief due for their earnings

if they have £10,000 in savings or more they do not get any council tax relief

or whatever the parameters are that you are working from.
