Council Tax discounts

Some properties are exempt from Council Tax. These include both occupied and unoccupied properties and include:

• properties occupied solely by students
• properties which are vacant following the death of the occupier, where relatives are waiting for probate or letters of administration to be granted (these properties continue to be exempt for a further six months)
• unoccupied properties owned by a charity
• properties left unoccupied because the liable person is receiving care elsewhere
