If you are aware of any residents that have experienced financial hardship due to the coronavirus, they can apply for Council Tax Support online on the Lambeth Council website.
Following a request from Green councillors and many others, Lambeth council has stopped all enforcement action for council tax arrears (apart from an initial reminder).
If any resident is struggling to pay council tax, they can contact the Council's support teams to discuss payment options and possibly deferring payment to later in the year.
Residents can see their council tax account and payments, set up an arrangement to pay their council tax, change the way they pay and apply for exemptions and discounts online, either through their ‘my Lambeth’ account or the web forms.
There is also a Discretionary Council Tax Support Hardship Payment scheme for those experiencing particular financial hardship.
There are other sources of financial help available from Lambeth council too:
The Emergency Support Scheme can provide assistance with food, fuel, furniture and white goods for households facing a crisis or emergency.
Discretionary Housing Payments can help make up rent payments where benefit payments do not cover the full cost.
