Council Tax is expected to increase again in April
spokesperson said: “Council tax debt is the biggest debt issue the Citizens Advice network deals with and these figures suggest the cost of living crisis could see an explosion in the levels of arrears across the country as people prioritise expenditure for immediate cost of living needs.
“CAB clients owe over £12.7 million in arrears with the average debt being almost three times as much as the average bill. That is the scale of the debt some people are facing while the cost of living continues to soar – it is no wonder people find themselves taking longer and longer to pay off their debt.”
Previous research from Citizens Advice Scotland found a large increase in complex debt clients - those with multiple debts – who would take longer to pay off their debts, with 1 in 2 clients having no money to pay down their debts after covering essential outgoings. Mr Fitt added: “People feeling worried about their finances can always turn to the Citizens Advice network for help. Our advice is free, confidential and impartial and can deliver real results. We never charge people for advice and are for everyone, regardless of whether you are working or not.”
