School, College Leavers or Receiving Child Benefit
Discounts for 18 and 19 year olds in full-time education or receiving child benefit.
If you’re a school or college leaver, or over 18 and receive child benefit you may be able to reduce the amount of Council Tax you need to pay.
Do I qualify?
If you’re a school or college leaver you’re not counted for Council Tax:
- if you’re under 20 years old
- if you left school or college after 30 April and before 31 October in any year
You will not be counted for Council Tax until 1 November of the same year.
If you’re over 18 years old and someone is entitled to child benefit for you then you are not counted for Council Tax.
