To consider a report by the Lead Member for Finance.

The Committee considered a report by the Lead Member for Finance on the need for a Local Council Tax Support scheme for Dorset Council. An aligned scheme would be required from 2021/22, but this report outlined the benefits of having an aligned scheme for 2019/20 and the opportunities to help reduce customer confusion and local authority administration.

Decision

That the Committee agrees to undertake a review of the Local Council Tax Support scheme.

Reason for Decision

To help ensure that the Dorset Council Local Council Tax Support scheme treats claimants consistently, was clear to understand and easy to administer.
