Issue details
The introduction of a Discretionary Council
Tax Discount scheme for Buckinghamshire Council Care Leavers works
alongside our Local Offer to support young care leavers in taking
on the responsibility of having their own property and being able
to support themselves financially. One of the key points of the
Local Offer is for Buckinghamshire Council to meet the obligation
of paying Council Tax for the Care Leaver up until the age of 21
where they continue to interact with the Leaving Care team. This
policy framework sets out the Council’s approach to the award
of discretionary Council Tax discount for Care Leavers from April
2023.
