Council tax bills and benefit or discount applications

We have started posting your annual council tax bills to you.

If you applied for Council Tax benefit or other council tax discount recently, your benefit may not be on your bill. If your application for a benefit is successful, we will send you a new bill showing the new total amount of council tax you will pay.

Only contact us about the missing discount if you haven't got a new bill within one month of when you applied (10 April at the earliest).

Older person's discount

If you are state pension age or older, you may be able to get £100 off your council tax bill.

If you are of state pension age, you could get up to £100 off your bill each year. If your bill is under £100, the discount will cover the whole amount so you won't have to pay anything.

To qualify you must:

have to pay council tax from 1 April of the year you are applying for
be 65-years-old or over
be living in the property that is your main or only home.

What you will need

Make sure you have your council tax account number ready, as shown on your council tax bill.
