Band reductions concern properties with occupiers who
are disabled.
If one of the occupiers is physically disabled, the amount of
council tax payable in respect of the dwelling may be lower,
provided that there is one or more of the following which is
required for meeting the needs of the disabled person.
- a room
- a second bathroom or kitchen
- sufficient floor space to allow the use of a
wheelchair
The person must be substantially and permanently disabled by
illness, injury or congenital deformity.
For properties in bands B to H, relief is awarded by basing the
tax on the band immediately below the one assessed by the Listing
Officer. However, for properties in band A, a reduction equivalent
to one ninth of the amount of council tax at band D is given. For
