Households in Bands E, F, G and H whose net income is below the Scottish median for their household type (£16,750 for single person households and £25,000 for others) may be entitled to claim an exemption from the increase to the banding system through the Council Tax Reduction Scheme. Entitlement is dependent on a number of factors, including any capital or savings held and the composition of the household.
