Council Tax Discounts
You might be able to pay less council tax or not pay it at all depending on your circumstances.
You might be able to get:
- Discounts - for example, for a single person, an empty property or for a student.
- Council Tax Reduction (CTR) if you have low income.
- A different reduction if you can’t get much CTR.
Council Tax discount applications
Students and Council Tax
Households where everyone’s a full-time student do not have to pay Council Tax. If you do get a bill, you can apply for an exemption.
You’ll get a Council Tax bill if there’s someone in your household who’s not a full-time student, but your household might still qualify for a discount.
