Also known as: Self-employed minimum income floor, Hardship funds, Local Council Tax Support , Local Council Tax Support - Entitlement


Service Description: Local Council Tax Support (LCTS) is the new scheme following the abolition of Council Tax Benefit on 31 March 2013.

LCTS helps people on low income pay their Council Tax. If awarded, LCTS is deducted from your Council Tax liability, reducing your bill. To claim LCTS you must be the person liable to pay the council tax bill for a property.
