Council tax - discounts, reliefs and exemptions
Working out whether you qualify for a discount
Whether your home counts for a discount depends on how many adults live there and if any of them come under our list of special circumstances.
How to Claim
You can apply for a discount by printing off the relevant form from forms and guidance notes, then complete and send it to the Council Offices.
If you disagree with the Council's decision about a discount, you can contact us explaining what you object to and why. See appeals
If your bill indicates that a discount has been allowed, you must inform the Council tax team of any change in circumstances that affects your entitlement. If you fail to do so, you may have to pay a penalty.
