Council Tax discounts and exemptions

You might be entitled to a reduction in your Council Tax, or be exempt from paying Council Tax.

Apply for a Single Person Discount

Apply for a Single Person Discount by visiting our online Council Tax options system.

Please select ‘View Council Tax reduction services’ then ‘I want to apply for a single person discount’.

You’ll get a 25% Council Tax discount if you’re the only adult in the property.

Some people can get a single person discount even if other adults live in their home. This applies if the other adults aren’t counted for Council Tax, for example if they’re disregarded as ‘students’, ‘apprentices’ or because they’re ‘severely mentally impaired’.

If you’re unable to use the on-line form, please call 01642 774774 to request a copy in the post.
