As council tax bills are slated to soar across the whole nation, checking to see whether you're eligible for a discount or exemption could help you avoid the hefty spike
Council tax bills are rising across the UK, but certain individuals may be exempt. Those with severe mental impairments (SMI) could receive a 100% discount if living alone, 50% with an adult carer, or 25% with one qualifying adult. Other exemptions apply to those under 18, apprentices, full-time students, student nurses, foreign language assistants, live-in carers, and diplomats. A 50% discount applies if everyone in a household is disregarded for council tax purposes, and a 25% discount if one person is disregarded.
