You’ll get 25% off your bill (called a single person discount) if you are the only person in your property who counts as an adult for Council Tax.
Children count as adults once they are over 18, so if you're the single parent of an adult child who lives with you, you are unlikely to get a single person discount.
After you've applied
After you've applied, you must still pay the amount on your Council Tax bill until you hear from us.
We may need to visit your property to confirm that the discount or exemption should apply.
We will review your discount or exemption from time to time and ask you to confirm whether it still applies.
If we don't give you the discount and you think we should have you can appeal by contacting us.
Report a change
If you no longer qualify for single person discount, you need to let us know within 21 days, otherwise you may have to pay a fine.
You’ll need your:
- Council Tax account number
- name, address and contact details
