Hosting refugees and asylum seekers: Council Tax Single Person Discount

Early day motion 268, tabled 11 January 2024 by Mike Penning (Conservative). Signed by 12 members.

That this House calls on the Government to amend the Council Tax (Additional Provisions for Discount Disregards) Regulations 1992, so that refugees and asylum seekers with leave to remain being hosted in their home by a person living alone are disregarded for the Council Tax Single Person Discount; and notes that this is already the case for Ukrainian citizens permitted to stay in the United Kingdom under the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme.
