Promotion

There are some circumstances where you may get a discount on your Council Tax. The amount of discount varies.

If you live alone

The full Council Tax is calculated assuming there are 2 or more people living in each home – if you live alone, you should apply to your local council for a discount. You could get a 25% discount, regardless of your financial circumstances.

If you live with someone under 18 or a student

Council Tax isn’t calculated on anyone aged under 18, full-time students, student nurses and some apprentices or trainees.

If you’re a carer

Carers who look after someone in the household for at least 35 hours a week and who meet additional criteria may be disregarded for Council Tax purposes. Contact your local authority for eligibility criteria. This does not apply if the person receiving care is the partner of the carer, or is the carer’s child aged under 18.

If there are major changes to your home’s value

You may be able to get your home moved to a lower Council Tax band if your home has decreased in value. For example, if you’ve made home adaptations for a disabled person, or if a motorway is built nearby. Contact your local office of the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) if you think your home’s Council Tax band should be changed

If you change the way you pay

Although the total year’s amount will stay the same, you can request that your bill be split over 12 months (instead of 10 months) so that each month’s bill is less. Alternatively, if you can afford to pay a year’s worth in one lump sum, check if you can get a discount.

Apply for Council Tax Support

You may be eligible to claim Council Tax Support, sometimes called Council Tax Reduction, if you’re on a low income or claiming certain benefits. Visit our Council Tax Support webpage to find out about eligibility and how to claim Contact your local authority to find out if you’re eligible for any discounts and how you can apply.
