The Council are continuously reviewing Council Tax single person discounts, to ensure residents only receive the reduction in their council tax where there is appropriate entitlement.
Using intelligent data matching, we are comparing records to check the validity of the discounts awarded.
Residents who are receiving a discount but are no longer entitled will have the discount removed and backdated as far as the evidence supports. Where it is appropriate the Council will impose a financial penalty or prosecute individuals for failing to declare that they are no longer entitled to the discount.
What should I do if I receive a review letter about my single person discount?
If you receive a single person discount review letter, please tell us your current circumstances so that we can update our records.
The quickest and easiest way to complete your review is online. You will need your unique PIN number, Council Tax account number and postcode. You can find this information on the letter or email we have sent you.
