Apply for a Council Tax discount for students
You will be required to upload a copy of the student certificate from the college/university to complete this form.
If only students live at the address, you may be eligible for an exemption (so there will be no Council Tax to pay at all).
If there is one student living at the address with another person who is not a student, a 25% discount may be awarded.
If there are two people who are not students living at the address, no discount can be granted at all.
