Your college, university or training provider should be able to give you a Council Tax exemption certificate.

The certificate must show:

• Course title
• Course start date
• Course end date

We cannot accept

• Student ID cards
• UCAS or other course applications

• Other letters without confirmed course start and end dates.

This will delay your application as we will need to request further information.

Correspondence courses, evening classes or courses undertaken as part of a person’s employment do not normally qualify.

Completing the form for more than one person

If you are applying for a student disregard for more than one student at the same address, you do not need to complete a separate form for each person.
To add another student, please select an additional option from the list, such as School Leaver, Apprentice, or Trainee. These sections collect the same information and will allow you to include details for more than one student within a single submission.
