Complimentary geometric and non-geometric consistent reductions of IIBsupergravity are studied. The geometric reductions on the identified groupmanifold X are found to have a gauge symmetry with Lie algebroid structure,generalising that found in similar reductions of the Bosonic string theory andeleven-dimensional supergravity. Examples of such compactifications areconsidered and the symmetry breaking in each case is analysed. Complimentary tothe reductions on X are the nine-dimensional S-duality twisted reductionsconsidered in the second half of the paper. The general reduced theory is givenand symmetry breaking is investigated. The non-geometric S-duality twistedreductions and their relation to geometric reductions of F-Theory on X isbriefly discussed.Comment: 37 page
