Communities and Local Government written question – answered at on 6 December 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government when he plans to announce whether the work associated with council tax discounts will be transferred to local authorities along with the council tax benefit scheme.
The Government are proposing a number of technical reforms for council tax, which are currently subject to a public consultation exercise. We would expect any changes to be in force by April 2013.
The separate consultation on localising council tax support, which is to replace council tax benefit, has now closed. Local schemes of support for council tax will be in place from April 2013.
