Full-time student discount or exemption

You may be exempt from paying Council Tax if:

• You are a full-time student living alone
• All adults living in the property are qualifying full-time students

Full-time Student discount

If you live with one adult who is not a student or a disregarded person, a 25% Council Tax discount may apply.

Example: A single parent lives with their adult child, who is a full-time student. The student is not counted for Council Tax purposes, so the parent may qualify for a 25% discount.

You will not normally qualify for a student discount if two or more non-student adults live in the property. To check if another adult qualifies for any other disregard, please go to Eligibility for other discounts and exemptions.
