Students, Apprentices and Youth Trainees
Council Tax is usually based on at least two adults aged 18 or over living in a home. If fewer than two adults count for Council Tax, you may be entitled to a discount.
Some people are not included, also known as disregarded, as occupiers to calculate Council Tax. This includes:
- full-time students who meet certain conditions
- youth trainees under 25
- apprentices who earn less than £256 a week
- student nurses
If everyone in the home is disregarded, you may not have to pay Council Tax at all. If only one person counts, you could get a 25% discount.
