SECTION A

EXPLANATORY NOTES.

Council Tax is made up of a property element of 50% and a personal element of 50%. The personal element assumes that

there are two persons over the age of 18 (adults) living in the property. If there are more than two adults resident the bill is not

increased, however, if there are less than two residents the bill may be reduced.

1. For discount purposes certain groups of people are ignored (disregarded) when counting the number of adults in the

household.

This means that in certain circumstances a household with two or more resident adults may still qualify for a discount

providing that all of them (or all but one of them) fall into one of the classes shown in Section D overleaf.

2. If there are two or more residents in the property aged 18 or over who are not entitled to a status discount then no

discount can be allowed.

3. A person can also qualify for a discount if they satisfy any of the following conditions:-
