Council Tax Reduction Modelling

Model CTR scheme options quickly, with clear insight into resident and budget impact.

Redesigning a CTR scheme

Redesigning a Council Tax Reduction scheme means balancing the council’s budget, the impact on residents and the need for a scheme that is practical to administer.

Teams may need to compare several options at short notice, explain the impact to members and prepare evidence for consultation and Equality Impact Assessment. Policy changes and Local Government Reorganisation can add further uncertainty.

A quicker way to model CTR changes

CTR Modelling helps Revenues & Benefits teams replace manual spreadsheet work with an easy-to-use online tool built around their own caseload data.

Teams can model an unlimited number of scheme options and see the results of each simulation in less than a minute, making it easier to compare different approaches and understand the impact on council costs and residents.

Key features

  • Scheme modelling: Test different scheme designs, compare as many variations as needed and see the impact in seconds.
  • Impact analysis: See the effect on scheme cost and different groups of residents, including potential arrears risk.
  • Reporting and evidence: Produce clear outputs to support member discussions, consultation and Equality Impact Assessment.

Scheme design support

Alongside the modelling, we deliver the wider scheme design work with our partner Visionary Network. This includes baseline analysis and data validation, officer and member workshops, options development, consultation design and analysis, Equality Impact Assessment and implementation support.
