You may be entitled to a discount, disregard or exemption on your Council Tax. To find out if you're entitled, please see Council Tax discounts.

If you're on a low income, you may be entitled to Council Tax Support. To apply, see Council Tax Support.

If you already receive Council Tax Support but are having severe difficulty paying your Council Tax, you can apply for a Council Tax Hardship payment.
