Council tax discounts

The council tax bill is based on at least two adults living in a property as their main home.

If only one adult, over the age of 18, lives in the property as their main home then they may be entitled to a 25% discount.

If no adults have the property as their main home, the bill may be reduced by up to 50%.

Certain people are not counted as being resident if they meet specific conditions.

For example:

  • Persons for whom child benefit is payable
  • School and college leavers under the age of 20 years
  • Youth training trainees
  • Students, student nurses and foreign language Students
  • Patients permanently resident in homes or hospitals
  • Certain carers
  • Severely mentally impaired persons
  • Persons in detention
  • Members of visiting forces or of international headquarters
  • Members of religious communities
  • Persons with diplomatic privileges and immunities

Please ring the Customer Contact Centre on (01952) 383838 if you feel that any of the above may apply to your household, or if you simply want further details.
