A to Z

Council Tax Benefit is a means tested benefit to assist with the payment of Council Tax.

In order to apply for this type of benefit you must be liable to pay Council Tax.

Another type of Council Tax Benefit is a Second Adult Rebate. To qualify for this you must share your home with one other adult or more who is not disregarded for Council Tax purposes and that person:

- is not your partner
- is aged 18 or over
- is not paying you rent
- is on a low income

In most cases we will automatically work out both the Second Adult Rebate and Council
Tax Benefit and give you the highest amount.

You cannot claim both Council Tax Benefit and Second Adult Rebate
