That the Council exercises its discretionary
powers under s13A(1)(c) of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 to
provide all recipients of working age Council Tax support (CTS)
during the financial year 2020-21 with a further reduction in their
annual Council Tax bill of up to £150; and
That in line with the Council Tax Support Scheme approved by
Council on the 18 December 2019, the calculation of Council Tax
Support for 2020-21 is amended to reflect the increase to the
Universal Credit (UC) standard allowance and Working Tax Credit
(WTC) basic element for one year from 6 April 2020, with the
changes to be mirrored in the needs assessment (applicable amount)
and income disregards for the purpose of calculating LCTS.
