Second Adult Rebate
Council Tax - Second Adult Rebate
Are you responsible to pay Council Tax for your dwelling?
Are you single (single, divorced, separated, widowed)?
Do other adults live with you?
If the answer to all of the above questions is yes, you may qualify for Second Adult Rebate. This is a Rebate that only takes account of the income received by 'Second Adults' in the property and you can claim if even if you do not believe you would qualify for Benefit based on your own income.
Please note that if you have a partner, you cannot claim Second Adult Rebate, unless your partner is disregarded for Council Tax purposes. Examples of disregarded persons are:
- Apprentices/Youth trainees
- People for whom Child Benefit is still being paid
- People who suffer from severe mental impairment
- Students or student nurses
