Council tax Money off council tax for part-time students

Unlike full-time students, part-time students have to pay council tax.

Part-time students may be able to get Council Tax Support to help pay their bill. It depends on their circumstances.

Are you sharing with a full-time student?

There is a 25% reduction on the bill if one part-time student is sharing with one full-time student. The part-time student is then responsible for the remaining 75% of the bill.

Contact us to apply for a reduction. Use our contact form and choose the ‘I’m a student’ option. Give as much detail as possible about who you live with and evidence about your circumstances:
