Discounts for members of religious communities
If one or more of the occupants of a property is a member of a
religious community, 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 members.
A person is not counted for Council Tax discount purposes if
he/she:
a) Is a member of a religious community the
principal occupation of which consists of prayer, contemplation,
education, the relief of suffering, or any combination of these;
and,
b) Has no income or capital of his/her own (except a pension from
previous employment) and is dependant on the community to provide
for his/her material needs.
The owner of a dwelling occupied by a religious
community is liable to pay the council tax.
