Discounts for apprentices
If one or more of the occupants of a property is
an apprentice, a 25% discount may apply because
he/she is classed as not counted for Council Tax
purposes. The discount is 50% if all the
occupants are apprentices.
No discount applies if two or more people
other than the apprentice (or any other adults who are not
counted) live in the property.
An apprentice is not counted for the purpose of
Council Tax if he/she is on a particular day:
(a) employed for the purpose of learning a
trade, business, profession, office, employment or
vocation
(b) for that purpose undertaking a programme of
training leading to a qualification accredited by
the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority; and
(c) employed at a salary or in receipt of an
allowance or both, which are, in total no more than £195 (gross)
per week.
