Can full-time students get help with Council Tax?
Most full time students do not have to pay Council Tax if everyone in the property is a full-time student.
If you live with one other person who is not a student, they might be able to get a discount on the Council Tax.
If you are a full-time student and are being charged Council Tax, you should get support from your university/college or you should find an adviser.
