Single person discount for Council Tax

Part of: Council Tax discounts

If only one adult (aged 18 or over) lives in a property as their main home, the Council Tax bill may be reduced by 25%. This is called a single person discount.

You are eligible for single person discount if:

  • you have always lived alone
  • all other adult members of your household have moved out or died

Use the online for below to apply for single person discount.

If you already receive single person discount, you must let us know if:

  • another adult has moved in with you and is staying for more than six weeks
  • a member of your household has turned 18 or will shortly turn 18

If either of these are the case, use the online form below to cancel your single person discount.
