But what about if you happen to be the only working person in a shared rented house where all the other tennants are students?
Are you stuck with the *entire* council tax bill, as all the other tennants are exempt? 
Or can you get some sort of discount? (preferably a decent sized one!)
I've tried a quick google, & found the official site for the Valuation Office ( http://www.voa.gov.uk/council_tax/ ), but it seems lacking in the info I want.
I found some other sites, but a quick read through didn't seem to answer my question. All I could find was stuff about students themselves being exempt, & stuff about council tax benefit for people who are on low incomes.
Anyone here know? |
I'm not sure myself, but whatever you do, if you end up having to phone the council to ask, make sure you don't give them your address.
