Council tax discounts and exemptions

The different types of discounts and exemptions and how to apply for them.

Sole occupier discount

You may be entitled to a 25 per cent reduction in your council tax bill if you are the only person (aged 18 or over) living in a property.

When you register for council tax, you can tell us whether you are eligible for a sole occupier discount. 

If you have already registered and your occupancy status changes and you are now the only person liable for council tax in your property, you can apply for a single person discount in My Account. 

Apply for a sole occupier discount

Or you can contact the council tax team to let us know.

What happens if someone else over 18 moves into the property?

Please use the move in /out option in My Account. This will affect the discount.

Making a false claim for a discount is a criminal offence and you may be liable to pay a penalty.
