Council Tax - exemptions and discounts (occupied properties)

If a property is occupied (someone normally lives in it), there are various exemptions and discounts available depending on the circumstances of the people in the household. 

For more details, click on the category in the related content which best describes the circumstances of one or more of the people who normally live in the property. 

If you have a septic tank or private water supply, you may be able to have your Water charges reduced.  Please see our Water and waste water page for more details.
