Have your say on new tax scheme

The thorny subject of tax is now open to the views of Torbay residents, who are being invited to have their say on Torbay Council’s proposed changes to the Local Council Tax Support Scheme.
The scheme helps people on low incomes to pay their council tax and is funded by the council.
Councillor Alan Tyerman, Cabinet Member for Housing, Finance and Corporate Services, said: “It’s really important that as many people in Torbay have their say on these proposed changes to Council Tax Support.
“Our aim is to improve the application process for the customer, make the scheme easier to manage, reduce the time taken from completing the application to receiving a Council Tax bill, and reduce the number of reassessments of awards.”
The consultation started on Monday, October 2 and it closes on Sunday, November 12.
