Tell us about a change that affects your Council Tax

Discounts, exemption and reductions

If you receive a Council Tax discount, disregard, reduction or exemption, you must tell us as soon as possible if you are no longer entitled to it. 

Examples include: 

  • A student leaves or completes their course. 
  • An apprentice is no longer employed as an apprentice. 
  • The person who qualified for a Severely Mentally Impaired (SMI) disregard is no longer living at the property. 
  • The person receiving a Disabled Band Reduction has passed away or no longer occupies the property. 
  • A care worker no longer lives at the property or changes role. 
  • The number of adults living in the property changes and you are receiving a Single Person Discount. 
  • A property that is exempt becomes occupied or its use changes. 
  • Someone moves into or out of the property and this may affect a discount, reduction or exemption. 
  • Probate has been granted for a property that is currently exempt because it forms part of a deceased person's estate. 

If you currently receive a Council Tax discount or exemption, you can tell us about any changes online. 

Report a change to your discount or exemption

If you do not currently receive a Council Tax discount or exemption but are in a situation that may be eligible, please see our discounts and exemptions pages for eligibility and how to apply.
