Summary

This document sets out the potential impacts of the proposals to localise support for council tax in England. The proposals will allow local authorities to set up local schemes of support for council tax, replacing council tax benefit. This will give local authorities the flexibility to design schemes which reflect local priorities, giving them a greater financial stake in the economic future of their area and enabling them to deliver a saving of 10 per cent on the current council tax benefit expenditure bill.
