Discounts

The full Council Tax bill assumes that there are two adults living in a property. If only one adult is living in the property, the bill will be reduced by 25%. The Council Tax bill for a property nobody lives in is reduced by 50%, unless it is classed as a ‘second home’.

Even in households of two or more people, we will not count certain people when looking at the number of adults living in a property. If the people living with you fall into any of the following categories, you may be entitled to a 25% discount on your bill.

• People in prison or detention
• People who are severely mentally ill
• People for whom you receive Child Benefit
• Carers
• People living in hostels
• Students, apprentices, youth trainees and student nurses
• Patients in Homes
• School Leavers
• Religious Communities
