With Council Tax bills rising, it’s more important than ever to check whether you’re paying the right amount. Many people in our community don't realise they could be entitled to a Council Tax Reduction, discount, or exemption — and this could make a real difference to household budgets.

What support could I get?

You may qualify for help if:

• Your income has changed
• You live alone
• You’re a full‑time student
• You care for someone for 35+ hours a week
• You or someone in your home has a disability
• An older relative or someone you know is in long‑term care

Why it matters

The Citizens Advice network in Scotland provided:

• 34,000 pieces of advice on Council Tax
