On 2 December 2014, the government ordered an independent review
into local council tax support schemes. The review was charged with
meeting the requirements set out in the
Local Government Finance Act 2012, including:
-
to look at whether the schemes are efficient, effective, fair
and transparent
-
to consider the schemes' impact on the localism agenda
-
to make recommendations as to whether or not the schemes should
be brought within universal credit.
