If you've recently moved into a new home, it's important to notify your local council about
your new address. If you're already residing at the property, ensure the council has your
details and is aware that you’re responsible for council tax payments.
Council tax is managed by local councils, and the process may vary depending on your
location. You can easily find out which council oversees your area by visiting the government
website: Find Your Local Council.
If you believe you qualify for a discount or exemption—such as living alone or having a
student in your household—be sure to apply through your local council's website. You may
need to provide supporting documentation, like a student certificate or medical information.
If any changes occur at your address, such as someone moving in or out, be sure to inform
the council so they can update your council tax bill accordingly.
If you're experiencing difficulty making payments, your local council can offer assistance.
Options include:
Council Tax Support: A discount for individuals on low income.
Discretionary Reductions: Additional help if you’re facing financial challenges.
While the application process is typically handled online, you are welcome to contact your
local council by phone or in person for further assistance.
