Discounts and exemptions:

Single person discount

Introduction

The full council tax bill is based on two adults living in a property as their main home. If only one adult lives at the property as their main home, a single person discount can be applied for. This could reduce the council tax bill by 25 per cent.

Eligibility

You’ll get 25 per cent off your bill if:

  • you are over 18 years old
  • you pay council tax
  • you live on your own.

Further information

If at any time your circumstances change, such as the number of people in your household changes, you must let us know so that we can check your council tax bill:
