Your full council tax bill is based on at least two adults living in a property; however there are certain residents who are exempt from this.
If you are the only person living in a property, you can apply for a single person discount.
The following groups of people are not counted in the number of adults living at a property:
- Apprentices
- Care workers
- Person in detention
- Person with significant cognitive impairment
- School or college leavers
- Students and student nurses
Further disregard classes include:
- Care leavers
- Patients in hospital or care homes
- Members of religious communities (e.g. monks and nuns)
- People aged over 18 and entitled to child benefit
- Members and dependants of visiting forces
- Persons with diplomatic privilege or immunity
- Members of international headquarters and defence organisations
- Persons residing in a hostel or night shelter
- Being housed under the Homes for Ukraine scheme
If you think you may qualify for one of these disregards, please contact us.
