Council Tax: When someone is moving out or in / back in to your home

Adults who are students, apprentices, or trainees might not have to pay Council Tax. If there's only one eligible adult left in the house, they may get a 25% discount. Students need to be on a full-time course for at least one year and study for at least 21-hours each week. Apprentices must be in a training program that leads to a qualification and earn £195 or less per week. Youth trainees under 25 in certain training programs may also be exempt.
