People who are disregarded for council tax
Council tax is based on the number of people living in a property. If you're 'disregarded' this means that we don't count you. If you live with someone who isn't counted it may mean that you get a discount on your bill.
People who are disregarded include:
- people caring for someone with a disability, who is not a partner, or child under 18
- people who have a severe mental impairment
- people aged 18 and 19 years, who are at, or who have just left school
- members of visiting forces and certain international institutions
- members of religious communities (monks and nuns)
- people in prison (except those in prison for non-payment of council tax, or a fine)
