Council Tax Support (CTS) scheme
Waltham Forest Council will continue its Council Tax Support scheme for 2026/27, offering financial assistance to low-income households.
Waltham Forest Council is currently implementing its Council Tax Support (CTS) scheme for the 2026/27 billing year, following a decision in December 2025 to continue providing financial assistance to low-income households. The council agreed to maintain an income-banded scheme with a maximum award of 85% to help residents pay their Council Tax.
The Council Tax Support scheme provides financial assistance to eligible residents towards their Council Tax payments. These schemes are typically designed to help low-income households manage their council tax bills through an online application process, with awards reducing the amount households are expected to pay. No further meetings are currently scheduled to discuss the scheme.
