How long will the discount last?

If a discount is granted, it will last as long as the qualifying conditions are met. However, the council may contact you from time to time to ensure that you should still be receiving a discount. If your circumstances change you must contact us straight away.

Reviewing Council Tax discounts and exemptions

Wirral Council regularly reviews all customers who receive Council Tax discounts and exemptions. This is to ensure discounts and exemptions are still valid and our information is up-to-date.

These reviews may be carried out by email. Any surveys about your discount or exemption will come from ecitizenfinance@wirral.gov.uk. The email will contain a link for you to update or verify your details.
