Council Tax Carers Discount

If you're a carer of someone who's not your partner, spouse or a child under 18 and you live in the same home as them, you may be able to get either a 25% or 50% discount on your Council Tax.

To get the discount you must care for the person for an average of 35 hours per week or more.

The person you care for must also get one of the following benefits:

  • Highest rate Attendance Allowance;
  • Highest rate of the care component of Disability Living Allowance; or 
  • Constant Attendance Allowance.

You don't need to get Carer's Allowance to receive this discount.
