The Council Tax (Discount Disregards and Exempt Dwellings) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2025
- Department: Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government
- Made under: Local Government Finance Act 1992
The regulations amended the Council Tax (Additional Provisions for Discount Disregards) Regulations 1992 and the Council Tax (Exempt Dwellings) Order 1992 to provide council tax discounts and exemptions to eligible individuals under the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
These regulations, effective March 25th, 2025, modify existing council tax legislation in England.
They expand the categories of individuals eligible for council tax discounts and exempt dwellings to include those participating in the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme and those entitled to a government thank you payment under associated guidance.
The changes apply to both discount disregards and exempt dwelling definitions, ensuring consistent treatment of Ukrainian arrivals within the council tax system.
