Conclusion (the committee's words)
The localisation of council tax support, and local government’s increasing reliance on revenue from council tax, has put local authorities in the difficult situation of occasionally having to collect council tax arrears from those in financial need. In this context, it is all the more important that their approaches to enforcement take account of individuals’ ability to pay.
