COUNCIL TAX DISCOUNTS

Single Person Discount
The full Council Tax is based on two adults (18 years and over) living in a property. If only one adult lives in a property as their main home, they will be entitled to a reduction of 25% off their Council Tax. Please note that a person may be absent for long or short periods and still be counted as a resident. If you are unsure as to whether you are entitled to this discount, please contact our Customer Enquiries staff who will be pleased to help you.
