Council Tax discounts

To qualify for a reduction, your property must be the main home of at least one disabled person. This can be an adult or a child - it doesn’t have to be the person responsible for paying the Council Tax.

Your property must also have features that are essential, or of major importance, to the well-being of the disabled person, for example:

• a room (other than a bathroom, kitchen or toilet) that is used predominantly by the disabled person
• an additional bathroom (excluding a toilet) or kitchen required to meet the needs of the disabled person
• adaptations to allow the use of a wheelchair inside the property

The reduction will be equivalent to re-banding your property into the next lower Council Tax band. The reduction for Band A properties will be the equivalent of one 9th of Band D.
