Council tax bills and benefit or discount applications

We have started posting your annual council tax bills to you.

If you applied for Council Tax benefit or other council tax discount recently, your benefit may not be on your bill. If your application for a benefit is successful, we will send you a new bill showing the new total amount of council tax you will pay.

Only contact us about the missing discount if you haven't got a new bill within one month of when you applied (10 April at the earliest).

Older person's discount

If you are state pension age or older, you may be eligible for £100 off your council tax bill. This is known as the older person's discount.

It is worth up to £100 a year off your bill, or if your bill is under £100 it will cover the total of your bill.

To qualify:

you must be liable for council tax on 1 April of the year you are applying for
you must be 65 years old or over
you must be living in the property and this property must be your main or only home.
