Options on changing the current Local Council Tax Support Scheme

Consultation Closed

This consultation closed on Friday 10 January 2025

There are four options that we are considering in terms of changing Rotherham’s Local Council Tax Support Scheme for working age residents for 2025/26. We may consider changes based on one or more than one option. More details of each option are available here:

Option 1

Make no change to the current Local Council Tax Support scheme.

Option 2

Changing the maximum level of Local Council Tax support from the current 91.5 per cent.

Option 3

Changing non-dependent deductions.

Option 4

Increasing the taper level that Local Council Tax Support is withdrawn at.

You can also offer different suggestions on how we can look at reducing our spending on Council Tax Support.
