🚨 Council tax shake-up – more protection if you miss payments

Who is affected:
All households paying council tax — especially low-income or vulnerable residents

What’s happening:
The UK Government is introducing new rules to make council tax fairer:

  • More time before enforcement (63 days instead of 2 weeks)

  • Mandatory repayment plans

  • Bills spread over 12 months (not 10)

  • Court fees capped at £100

What to do next:

  • Struggling to pay? Contact Redbridge Council early

  • Check if you qualify for discounts or support

  • Consider switching to 12-month payments when available
