Council Tax Rebates

A Council Tax letter is given to students for the purpose of obtaining an exemption or discount on paying council tax.

In some cases where a student lives with non-students this letter can give a reduction in council tax by 25% however eligibility for a Council Tax exemption or deduction is subject to the respective Councils decisions.
