Council tax discount: an adult in prison

Overview

When a person is in prison (or detained elsewhere), they may be able to apply for a 25% council tax discount if one person remains in the property, or an exemption if the property is empty. This is whether it is furnished or not.

If the person is in prison because they haven't paid their council tax, they wouldn't be able to apply for a discount or exemption.

Apply

You will need to complete the below online form on behalf of the person in prison.

Please note that following the link below to apply online will involve setting up an online account first.
