Proposed Tax Reduction

Published: 10 August 2019

Currently each district council (Aylesbury Vale, Chiltern, Wycombe and South Bucks) has a different scheme that gives slightly different levels of council tax support for people with a low income.

The aim is to have one scheme supporting those who are eligible for a reduction on their council tax bill across the whole of Buckinghamshire from 1 April 2020. One scheme for the whole of Buckinghamshire will mean that people in the same situation are treated consistently and fairly wherever they live.

The changes proposed in this consultation only apply to people of working age with a low income. Pensioners are not affected by this change. For more information on how this could potentially affect you. Please click on the link below.
