Check if you are eligible for a single person discount.
If you are the only person over the age of 18 living in a property you may be eligible for a discount of 25%.
You can only claim this discount at your
main residence - what is a main residence?. You can’t claim a single person discount for a second home.
If someone has moved out temporarily, for example the person is working away and has left you as the sole resident, you won’t be able to claim the discount because the other person’s
main residence - what is a main residence? hasn’t changed.
Apply for a single person discount
Before you apply you’ll need your council tax account number -

Cancel a single person discount
You will need to cancel your discount if you are no longer the only person over 18 living in the property. However, you may be entitled to
another council tax discount, for example if someone in the property has turned 18 and is still in education.
Before you cancel you’ll need your council tax account number -
