That the Executive recommend to Council the proposed changes to the Council Tax Support scheme for 18/19.
Minutes:
The Executive Member for Corporate Resources submitted a report which summarised the current Council Tax Support Scheme and the proposed changes which would ensure that Care Leavers, where a Council acts as the corporate parent, do not have to pay Council Tax up to their 25th birthday; that UC claimants’ start dates were aligned with CTS start dates; and that Company Directors would be treated in the same way as self-employed claimants to ensure a fair and consistent approach. The report also summarised the feedback from the consultation which has been undertaken on these changes. It was noted that the Executive’s recommendation would be forwarded to Council for decision.
RESOLVED - That the Executive recommend to Council the proposed changes to the Council Tax Support scheme for 18/19.
