Money off Council Tax if you are 18 years old and receive child benefit

If you're over 18 years old and receive child benefit you're not counted (disregarded) when calculating Council Tax.

To apply, sign in to or register for an online Council Tax account or complete our Over 18s in receipt of child benefit council tax discount form (PDF) [124KB] .

If you continue to receive child benefit over the age of 18 years (usually where full time education continues), you can apply for a Council Tax discount.
