The report provides an update on the Council
Tax Support (CTS) scheme and advises on the approach for potential
future changes. It recommends that no changes be made to the CTS
scheme for the 2026/27 financial year due to time constraints. CTS
schemes are not able to be revised in-year and any future changes
require a significant amount of modelling and extensive
consultation period. It proposes that preparatory work be
undertaken to model potential changes to the scheme, including
adjustments to banding and income disregards during 2026/27. This
modelling will inform a decision for the 2027/28 financial
year
