FAQ 150
Will I need to pay Council Tax?

If you are a full-time student undertaking a full-time programme of study you are exempt from paying Council Tax, including during holiday periods.

However, if you are either the home owner or your name is on the tenancy agreement for the home and you live with one or more non-students, such as a partner or a child who is not in full-time education, you will have to pay Council Tax but may be eligible for Council Tax Benefit.
