Section 13A of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (“the 1992 Act”) requires each billing authority in England to make a scheme (“a council tax reduction scheme”) each year specifying the reductions which are to apply to amounts of council tax payable by persons, or classes of person, whom the authority considers are in financial need. Council Tax Reduction is a local scheme which replaced Council Tax Benefit, a national scheme in 2013.
