    If you are single, and live alone, you should get a 25% reduction. Other than that, I don't think there is any other way to reduce your council tax bill.

    The refuge collectors still have to come round every week whether you are there or not, the police still need paying... you get the idea.

    You could always move into a houseshare? Or rent a friend's/parent's spare room?
