Carers working for a charity, the Crown or on behalf of a Local Authority
Council Tax bills are issued assuming that there are 2 or more adults living in a property. In certain circumstances some people can be disregarded or not counted when working out the number of occupiers and a discount may apply.
To qualify for a discount the carer should be
- Providing care or support on behalf of the local authority, the Crown or a charity or be employed by the person they care for and have been introduced by one of these and
- Live at the home where they provide the care, or at one provided by the local authority, the Crown, the charity or the person being cared for and
- Provide care for at least 24 hours each week and
- Earn a maximum of £36 each week.
It is important that you continue to make the payments shown on your bill until you are advised whether your application has been successful and a revised bill has been issued.
