Application forms
Are you a student or do you share a house with a student?
If you receive a council tax bill and someone in your household is a student, here's your easy check to find out
if you should receive a discount:
- Most full time students don't have to pay council tax. Counted as students for council tax purposes are most
people aged over 18 in full time education or entitled to child benefit payments, and certain apprentices and
trainees.
If all the adults in a household are students
You will usually have no council tax to pay.
If there is only one adult who isn't a student in your household
You could get a 25% discount off your bill. Other discounts may apply if the non-student is disabled or on a
low income.
If there is more than one adult who isn't a student in your household
You probably will not receive any discount off your bill. These include students who live with both of their
parents. Other discounts may apply if any of these adults are disabled or on a low income.
These people received a council tax discount
- Students Faiza and Salma share a house with a friend, Nargis who works. They
receive a 25% council tax bill discount.
- Sonia lives with her student son, Adam. She gets a 25% council tax discount.
- Tom lives with his partner, Louise who is a mature student. They get a 25%
council tax discount.
If you have received a council tax bill and think you should get a discount, you must
contact us to check. Do not ignore your bill as it
will not go away.
