RESOLVED - That Cabinet endorsed the implementation of the Section 13A Council Tax reduction scheme.
REASONS FOR DECISION - To comply with the legislative requirement that each Council Tax billing authority in England make a scheme specifying the terms and eligibility for the Section 13A Council Tax Reductions.
OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED AND REJECTED – To take no action would mean that the Council would fail to comply with its legislative responsibilities.
Please note that this was not a Key Decision and so can be implemented with immediate effect by officers.
