Service updates and festive arrangements

Apply for residents in care or hospital discount

Use this service to apply to pay less Council Tax if one of the adults in your home is in long-term care or hospital.

Council Tax charges assume at least two adults live in the home. A person who is in long-term care or hospital is not counted as an adult living in the home.

If you are the only person living in the home you'll be entitled to a discount of 25% on your Council Tax bill. If the property is empty, you will not have to pay any Council Tax.

Before you begin

We will ask you for information about:

  • yourself
  • your Council Tax reference if you know it
  • the person in care or hospital

To find out how we'll handle your personal data, read our privacy notice.
