Re: council tax and council recovery charges
You are correct - 'discrimination' for the purposes of the Equality Act is defined under Chapter 2 of the Act with reference to protected characteristics. The two main definitions of discrimination for the act, direct and indirect, both require specific reference to protected characteristics:
A person (A) discriminates against another (B) if, because of a protected characteristic, A treats B less favourably than A treats or would treat others.
and
A person (A) discriminates against another (B) if A applies to B a provision, criterion or practice which is discriminatory in relation to a relevant protected characteristic of B's.
