Spouses and partners who live together are jointly responsible for paying the bill. In certain circumstances, the bill may be reduced, or some homes may also be exempt from council tax. This will depend on why a property is empty or if the occupants are disregarded for council tax purposes. These reductions can be called discounts, exemptions or even disregards dependant on the circumstances.
If the dwelling is a second home or an empty property, then there may be an additional charge on the property called a premium. However, in some circumstances these additional charges do not apply, and these are called premium exceptions.
If you live in the property alone, you may qualify for single person discount. To apply complete our online form:
