Quick question - cant find out much about it online. Does council tax increase if more than 2 adults are living in a property? I know reductions are available for single adult occupancy but details about a third adult are unclear..ta
It doesn't.
There's a single person discount (there are others for OAPs I think) but that's it.
Ok... thanks
It's based on two adults sharing. A single person gets a 25% discount. Should it not be 50% discount?
Council tax for dummies was explained to me like this:
Council tax is made up of 2 parts.
1 is the property, 50%
The other is the occupancy 50%
So for only one person you get half the occupancy discount which is why it's 25% plus 50% (property part)
You can then look at second adult rebate and other discounts but basically 2 or more means no discount.
