What we will need

You will not need to apply for this exception because it is applied automatically to those receiving the existing Annexe Discount. For those Annexes that do not receive a discount, although no premium charge will apply you may be subject to a full Council Tax charge.

Applying for the exception

If you already receive an Annexe discount you will not be subject to a premium charge and do not need to apply for any further discount. Alternatively, if you believe you should qualify for an Annexe Discount, please see more information and how to apply for the discount below:
