Council Tax Reduction

You can apply for second adult rebate if you don't qualify for Council Tax Reduction and live with another adult over 18.  

You'll only get the reduction if the other adult:

• does not pay rent for living in your home

• is not your spouse or partner

• has a low income and is not a disregarded person

The reduction could be up to 25% of your Council Tax bill.
