If you are a Care Leaver

Care leavers who are liable to pay their own council tax directly (rather than as part of a service charge) will receive a 100% discount from their Council Tax for up to a maximum period of three consecutive years. The discount cannot extend beyond a care leaver’s 25th birthday. The discount will start once a care leaver moves into their final stage accommodation (social housing or privately rented) rather than when they are living in hostel accommodation.

If you are a Care Leaver and think you might qualify for this discount please contact your Personal Adviser or Social Worker who will be able to advise you further.
