Decision details

To note the progress that has been made on the review of the scheme (jointly commissioned with other Kent Authorities) and provide options for public consultation on the scheme 2022/23.

RESOLVED –

1.    That the progress of the inaugural year of the income banded Council Tax Reductions Scheme be noted; and

2.    That Full Council be recommended that no changes be made to the Council Tax Reduction Scheme for 2022-2023.

REASON FOR DECISION: The new income banded scheme had so far been successful but introducing changes before completion of its first year would be premature.
