The Government has addressed the demand for all individuals above the State Pension age to receive a council tax reduction. This follows a petition, which garnered over 10,000 signatures, urging everyone over the State Pension age to be granted a discounted council tax rate, thereby eliciting a response from HM Treasury .
The petition implores the Government to enact legislation ensuring that pensioners aren’t required to allocate “a very significant percentage” of their income towards this tax. Petition initiator David Papworth expressed his concern, stating: “I feel that current council tax rates do not take pension incomes into account. This means some pensioners are having to pay what I think is a very significant percentage of their pension towards council tax.
