A Bill to change the name of Council Tax Benefit to Council Tax Rebate; and for connected purposes
House of Commons
8 April 2010
The Bill would rename the benefit known as Council Tax Benefit to Council Tax Rebate in law and make any small, technical changes needed to reflect the new name. It is a straightforward naming change and does not introduce new policy or alter how the benefit operates.
The bill is at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it passes this stage, it will move to the committee stage, then report and third readings, before potentially moving to the House of Lords.
