Young adults who are in or leaving education

People in your household who are over 18 but under 20 are not counted for council tax if they are:

• still in education and/or;
• someone is receiving Child Benefit for them

To get a discount:

• we must not count the young adult for council tax, and
• there are less than two adults in the property that are counted for council tax
