Answer 4

I dont know about under 18..... but I was 18 when I got my own place and got single persons discount. Cant remember how much discount it was cos it was 10 years ago!!!

Answer 5

A person under 18 is disregarded for Council Tax purposes - if that person is the only occupier of the property then they entitled to claim a Class S exemption until they turn 18 at which point they are liable for Council Tax less any relevant disregards.

Answer 8

Hi I work fo local council,  you cannot legally be liable for council tax until you are 18, then when you are 18 you can claim a single person discount, but until you are 18 you will be exempt
