Students and spouses

If you are a student nurse you may qualify for a council tax reduction.

You're counted as a student nurse for council tax purposes if:

• you're a nursing or a midwifery student. This includes those those on pre-registration undergraduate courses and post-registration health visitor training
• you're taking a course which leads to registration under the Nurses, Midwives and Health Visitors Act 1997

Student nurses taking traditional hospital-based training do not count as students.
