Council tax and students
If you are a student
- If you are a full-time student, a student nurse or a student 2000 Nurse, you don’t need to pay council tax.
If you own the property
- If you are the owner of a property and you rent it out exclusively to full-time students, your property will be exempt from council tax.
If you live with a student
- If you are not a student, but you live with full-time students, you will still have to pay your council tax (but you can claim a 25% discount).
How to let us know you are a full-time student
All you need to do is:
Apply for student discount- Get a certificate from your college/university confirming you are a full-time student (including details about the dates of your course).
- If you are a student nurse, we will need a letter from your health authority confirming that you are a student nurse (and the date you started and expect to qualify).
