Students are not counted for Council Tax purposes. If all but one of the occupiers is disregarded as a

student a 25% discount may apply. If all the occupiers are classed as students the property is totally

exempt from the payment of Council Tax.

To qualify as a student for Council Tax purposes, a person(s) must be either:

i) A Foreign Language Assistant registered with The British Council;

ii) On a full-time course of education at a prescribed educational establishment (a full-time course is one

which lasts for one academic year with a requirement to attend for at least 24 weeks and involves study,

tuition or work experience averaging 21 hours per week);

iii) Aged under 20 undertaking a qualifying course of education (a qualifying course is one principally

studied between the hours of 8am and 5.30pm, lasting for more than 3 months and be for more than 12

hours per week). A correspondence course is not a qualifying course of education.

For the purposes of Exemption applications a student’s spouse, civil partner or dependant who is not a

British Citizen and is prevented from taking paid employment or from claiming benefits will not be counted

for Council Tax purposes. Furthermore, person(s) aged 18 or 19 who leave a school or college between
