If you’re a care leaver, you don’t have to pay council tax if you have moved into a home where you are the only person responsible for paying.

If you’ve moved into a home where other people live and they aren’t care leavers, you can get a discount on the council tax, but how much will depend on the circumstances.

You will need to provide:

• The date you moved into the property
• The council tax account number
• The number of people living at the property
• The support workers name and contact details
• The local authorities contact information

Once we receive the application, we will contact the support worker to confirm the care leaver status.
