Ceredigion council has issued details of the financial support available to those struggling to pay council tax due to the coronavirus pandemic.

There are a number of financial support options available:

• Alternative payment arrangements to the standard 10-monthly payment plan can be considered i.e reducing your monthly payment by spreading your instalments over 12 months instead of 10 (April 2020 to March 2021)

• You can ask for a ‘council tax payment holiday’ for April and May 2020. Your annual bill for 2020/21 will be the same, but your instalments will start again from June and run until March 2021.

To discuss the options available to you if you need support, you should contact the council on 01970 633253 or email [email protected]

But the council says its contact centre is currently receiving high levels of calls so your patience is appreciated.
