Our council tax reduction scheme maintains entitlements to support for vulnerable and low-income households in Wales. The scheme is uprated each year to take account of cost-of-living increases, and targets support where it is needed most.
For 2022-23, Rhondda Cynon Taf will receive an 8.4 per cent increase in its core settlement allocation and Bridgend will receive a 9.2 per cent increase. In addition, these authorities will also receive a share of the £1.1 billion of specific revenue grants.
Our programme for government and the co-operation agreement commit to making council tax fairer and more progressive, as we strive for a fairer Wales. I made a statement in plenary on 7 December, outlining our ambitions for this work.
