Council Tax Reduction

Council Tax Reduction is available for people on low incomes. Eligibility and amounts vary by council. Apply at your local council's website.

How is council tax calculated?

Council tax is based on your property's band, set by the Valuation Office Agency based on estimated property values in 1991. Each council sets a Band D rate each year, and other bands are calculated as a fraction of the Band D amount.

Who qualifies for the single person discount?

If you live alone, or if all other occupants are disregarded for council tax purposes, you receive a 25% discount. Disregarded people include full-time students, people with severe mental impairment, carers, and apprentices.

What is the disability band reduction?

If a disabled person lives in your property and the property has a room or extra space needed for their disability, you pay council tax on the band below your actual band. Band A properties pay a reduced Band A rate.

What does this mean?

This calculator is designed to help you understand the likely number before you make a decision or start an application.

Your result should be checked against official UK guidance, especially if your circumstances include dependants, exemptions, prior leave, or a complex immigration history.

Treat the figure as a planning tool rather than legal advice. Where the answer affects an application deadline or major payment, speak to an authorised adviser.
