Tax relief and benefits when hospitalised

A full council tax bill assumes that there are two adults ( aged 18 or over ) living in a household.  If only
one adult lives in your household, 25% discount is due.  If the property is unoccupied an exemption may
be due - this means no tax is payable.


People in long tern care or hospital are not counted with adults when working out a discount, e.g. a house occupied by one person when their partner's main residence is in care or in hospital, would get a 25% discount.

A resident in care form should be completed.
