Council Tax discounts and exemptions for people

Single Occupancy

If you are the only adult aged 18 or over living in your home, you may be eligible for a discount on your Council Tax bill. This is known as the Single Occupancy Discount and applies to your sole or main residence.

You must inform us of any changes to your household, such as someone moving in or turning 18, as this may affect your eligibility.
