Paying Council Tax can prove challenging for many, especially with all the extra costs and expenses families face. The same applies to families in Northern Ireland, who have to pay rates instead.

But there are ways of getting help.  For Council Tax, these include:

  • Council Tax discount.
  • Council Tax Disability Reduction Scheme. 
  • Council Tax reduction schemes.

Schemes to help with rates in Northern Ireland include the Rate Relief Scheme, Rate Rebates and the Disabled Person’s Allowance, which can result in a discount. 

To find out more  you’re invited to take part in a special Q&A session with our advisers next week where you can get advice. The Q&A will take place on Thursday 20 February  between 10–11:30am, in our private Facebook Group for parent carers.

Don’t worry if you can’t make it – we’ll share links to the Q&A once the event’s over.

You can also find lots of advice on our website.
