COUNCIL TAX, ENGLAND
Section 13A of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (c.14) (“the 1992 Act”), substituted by section 10 of the Local Government Finance Act 2012 (c.17) (“the 2012 Act”), requires each billing authority in England to make a scheme specifying the reductions which are to apply to amounts of council tax payable by persons, or classes of person, whom the authority considers are in financial need. Paragraph 4 of Schedule 1A to the 1992 Act, inserted by Schedule 4 to the 2012 Act, requires the Secretary of State to prescribe by regulations a “default scheme”. The default scheme is to take effect, in respect of dwellings situated in the area of a billing authority, if the authority fails to make its own scheme on or before 31st January 2013.

PART 6Applicable amounts
Applicable amount: persons who are not pensioners who have an award of universal credit28
1
Subject to sub-paragraph (2), in determining the applicable amount for a week of an applicant who is not a pensioner—
a
who has, or
b
who (jointly with his partner) has,
an award of universal credit, the authority must use the calculation or estimate of the maximum amount of the applicant, or the applicant and his partner jointly (as the case may be), subject to the adjustment described in sub-paragraph (3).
2
In determining the applicable amount for a week of an applicant who is a member of a polygamous marriage, the fact that two people are husband and wife is to be disregarded if—
a
one of them is a party to an earlier marriage that still subsists; and
b
the other party to that earlier marriage is living in the same household.
3
The adjustment referred to in sub-paragraph (1) is to multiply the maximum amount by 12 and divide the product by 52.
4
In this paragraph “maximum amount” means the maximum amount calculated by the Secretary of State in accordance with section 8(2) of the Welfare Reform Act 2012109.
