SCOTS have saved more than £3 billion over the last decade thanks to a scheme that reduces council tax payments for some, it has been revealed.
The Council Tax Reduction scheme will mark its 10th anniversary in April 2023, with figures from October showing 456,790 households – about one in five – were in receipt of the help.
Those on low incomes are eligible for the assistance – which can save people an average of £750 a year, with money also off water and waste charges.
