Foreign students with an overseas partner or dependent

If you are a foreign full-time student with a partner or dependant who is not a British Citizen and is not allowed to either work or claim benefits, you will not have to pay Council Tax while you are studying.

You will have to upload a copy of your partner's passport as well as a valid copy of your student certificate.

To apply

To apply for a student discount or exemption, all you need to do is link your Council Tax account to your MyRBKC account. You will only need to do this once.

Note: You need to make sure that you register for Council Tax:

You can also make your application in writing or use the Contact us form quoting your Council Tax reference number.
