Council tax reminder to everyone who lives with a student that could save thousands of pounds year
manchestereveningnews.co.ukMany people living with a student could be eligible for a special council tax reduction, potentially saving thousands of pounds a year.
Certain discounts can be applied to your council tax depending on the type of people living in the household. Full time students can be considered for a discount on their council tax as long as their course lasts one year and includes 21 study hours a week.
