Councils are responsible for designing schemes that deliver an appropriate level of council tax support that reflect the circumstances in their area. Funding for local council tax support is provided, unringfenced, through the local government finance settlement. Councils will have access to £46.4 billion of funding next year – a 2.8 per cent increase from 2018-19.
