1.3 million households face a two-thirds increase in £6bn Council Tax debt since pre-pandemic times.
1.3 million households face £6bn in Council Tax debt, a two-thirds increase since pre-pandemic times. The Centre for Social Justice (CSJ) calls for a more proportionate collection system and greater protection for vulnerable households, with potential 100% discounts for low-income households through Council Tax Reduction or Council Tax Support. The new Labour Party government supports these measures, stating that eligible households on low income or claiming benefits may be eligible for Council Tax discounts.
