Council Tax: Single People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to maintain the single occupancy council tax discount.
Answered by Jim McMahon
The Government currently has no plans to change the single person discount. Decisions on future local authority funding will be a matter for the next Spending Review and Local Government Finance Settlement. The Government is committed to keeping taxes on working people as low as possible.
