Council Tax 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 may be reduced by 25%.

Armed forces personnel may be entitled to a discount of 50% on their home if as a result of their job they are required to live in accommodation provided by the Ministry of Defence and their home is no longer any ones permanent residence.

If the people living with you fall into any of the following categories, or there is only one resident over the age of 18 living in the property you may be entitled to a 25% discount on your bill if you meet the relevant criteria. If you require more information please contact us.

• People in prison or detention
• People who are severely mentally impaired
• People for whom you receive Child Benefit
• Carers (certain types)
• People living in hostels
• Students, apprentices, youth trainees and student nurses
• People permanently resident in a care or nursing home
• People permanently resident in a hospital
• Non British spouses of students
• School Leavers
• Religious Communities
• Care leavers up to their 25th birthday

Please note - If your application for a discount is successful and you currently receive any other Council Tax discounts or reductions, your entitlement to these will be recalculated.
