Council tax COVID-19 hardship fund 2020/2021 – The government has announced a council tax hardship fund. This will provide a minimum of £150 to reduce council tax for those of working age who receive help from the local council tax support scheme. If the current council tax amount due for 2020-2021 is less than £150, the amount would be reduced to zero.
