Council Tax Changes – Under the Government’s “Localism Agenda” District Councils now have more control over how they collect Council Tax. However, they also receive a smaller Grant to cover what was Council Tax Benefit. The effect in Suffolk is that everyone of Working Age will now have to pay at least 8.5% of their Council Tax Bill (Note: eligible Pensioners keep their existing Benefits, which can be up to a 100% exemption.) Suffolk Coastal is also increasing the Council Tax rates for Second Homes and Empty Properties.
