Single Person Discount (SPD)

Apply for Single Person Discount (SPD)

Your full Council Tax bill is based on at least two adults living in a property. If you are the only person over 18 years old who lives in your home, you may be entitled to a discount of 25 percent

What happens next?

We will contact you (usually via email), if we need any further information, and to let you know the progress of your application. We aim to process discounts / exemptions within 21 working days.

You will be able to view any changes to your council tax online, via your account, once your discount has been processed.

If you no longer qualify for a single person discount you need to let us know.

Single Person Discount review

We are currently carrying out residency checks using data matching technology to validate legitimate SPD claims. Any discounts that are being claimed in error, or fraudulently, will be identified and removed.

If you have received a Single Person Discount review, you are still the only adult over 18 resident in your property, and wish to apply for a continuation of your 25% single person discount. Please complete the form below.

If you don't tell us about a change, you may have to pay a penalty of £70.
