Council Tax Discounts and exemptions
You may be able to reduce your bill if:
• the property is empty
• only one adult lives there
• you are disabled
• you are a student
• you are a nurse
If you're on a low income you may qualify for Council Tax Benefit.
The full Council Tax bill assumes that there are at least two adults living in a home. If only one adult lives in a home (as their main home), the Council Tax is reduced by 25 per cent. The bill doesn't increase if there are more than two adults in the home.
FULL TIME STUDENTS
You will not be counted if you are a student (or an
overseas student) on a full-time or qualifying course of
education.
You are a full time student if you are:
• attending a university or college course which
lasts for at least an academic year, takes at least
24 weeks a year and involves at least 21 hours of
study per week during term-time; or
• under the age of 20, and studying for more than
three months and at least 12 hours per week for
any qualification up to A level or equivalent
standard. Correspondence courses, evening
classes, or courses taken in connection with a
person’s job, such as on day-release, are not
included.
Student nurses studying academic courses at
universities are classed as students for council tax
purposes.
Foreign language assistants registered with the British
Council are also treated as students.
You will not be counted if you are the spouse, civil
partner or dependant of a student, are not a British
Citizen, and are prevented by the terms of your
permission to be in the UK either from taking paid
employment or from claiming benefits.

Dwellings are exempt if they are:
• occupied entirely by full time students, or by
students as term time accommodation, or are a
student hall of residence. However, dwellings
occupied by a mixture of full time students and
people who are not full time students will receive
a bill. It will be for the members of the household
to decide how to apportion the bill but the full
time students will not be liable for the council tax;
