A person is not counted for council tax if they are under 18 years old.

If everyone living in the property is under 18 years old you may not have to pay any council tax.

We will need to see proof of the date of birth.

What happens next

After applying you must still pay the amount on your council tax bill until you hear from us.

We'll check every year that you should still get the discount. We may cancel your discount if you don't reply when we contact you.

Tell us about a change

If you no longer qualify or something changes you must tell us within 21 days. You may have to pay a fine if you don't tell us.
