You can get a Council Tax discount if you:

• are a paid apprentice earning no more than £195 per week (gross) and less than what you would earn when qualified
• are training for an NVQ
• are unpaid on a youth training programme, aged under 25 and on a government-recognised youth training programme

We’ll need proof of your training course such as certification of studies, and proof of income and job status from your employer if you’re an apprentice.

• Apply to be ‘disregarded’ using our online form

Exemptions

If you live in a property where all or the only resident(s) is under 18 years of age, your residence is exempt from council tax. This means you won't have to pay council tax, until one of the residents becomes 18 years old, or someone else, who is 18 or over, moves into the property.
