Your Council Tax bill assumes that there are at least two adults over 18 living in the property as their main home (more than two people make no difference to the charge)
A 25% Single Persons Discount on Council Tax bills is available to households where only one adult is living in the property. The discount is not means tested so it doesn't matter how much income or savings you have.
Please remember when applying for a discount that the information you give must be true and complete.
