Council Tax discounts

If you are disabled or someone who lives with you is disabled, you may be able to get a reduction in your Council Tax charge. These reductions work by charging Council Tax at a rate one valuation band lower than the banding shown for your property.

• Apply for disabled relief discount from Council Tax 

The person liable to pay the Council Tax is eligible for this reduction if a disabled person is living in the property and one of the following is true:

• The property contains a room other than a bathroom, kitchen or lavatory which is predominantly used by and is required for meeting the needs of the disabled person
• The property contains an additional kitchen or bathroom which is required for meeting the needs of the disabled person
• The disabled person needs the use of a wheelchair within the property and there is enough floor space in the property for the use of a wheelchair

The regulations do allow a discount for properties in band A.
