who is entitled to 25% council tax discount?

Question

is a single persons working full time entitled to the 25% rebate

Answer 1

If you are the sole adult occupier with no one else over 18 in the property ( they are disregarded for council tax purposes ) then you automatically qualify for a single person discount ( 25% ) whether you are working or not. Any further reliefs must be claimed ( if eligible ) through the council tax benefit system. Please note that the 25% single person discount may need to be claimed ... so you need to tell the council or sign a discount claim form if you are not already getting it!

Answer 2

Yes all single people living alone and paying council tax are entitled to a 25% discount, but you must notify the council. It may be possible to have it back dated if you ask them .

Answer 6

Yes, just ring them up and ask them to send you the forms - you have to be living alone though, if you share with a flatmate or something I don't think you're eligible. I think you have to be the only adult in the household.
