Low-income households
If you are a low income household you may be eligible for the Council Tax Reduction Scheme. It helps people on a low income pay all, or part of their Council Tax. This doesn’t cover water and sewerage charges, you must pay these yourself.
If you are a low income household already in receipt of Council Tax Reduction, you don’t need to reapply. Any entitlement to reduction will be in your Council Tax annual demand notice.
Setting Council Tax bands
The Ayrshire Valuation Joint Board decides which Band your home falls into. They are independent from the Council.
To ask, or appeal, about the banding of your house, contact Ayrshire Valuation Joint Board.
