Council Tax discount
Wed 29-Apr-09 01:38 PM

Not strictly a benefit but wondered if anyone knows. Certain resident carers are ignored for Council Tax purposes, including carers placed by a LA, charity etc who are only paid a small amount. Last year the earnings limit was £44 - has this gone up and if so where can I get the references? Hunted high and low, including the VOA website, and can't find any info to suggest it has increased.

Ta.

For info - they haven't increased. They don't automatically go up each year.
