Council Tax with a student in the house

in Cutting tax
Hi guys,
I've been told that in a three-person household with one student and two full time workers - this would not make a difference nor discount the council tax.
Is this correct?
Thanks

ALL the occupants have to be students to make a difference0

Not true, if all but one were students then a 25% 'single person' discount would apply.ALL the occupants have to be students to make a difference
However in this situation the OP is correct, no discount applies.Excuse any mis-spelt replies, there's probably a cat sat on the keyboard0 -
Providing there are 2 or more occupiers in the property who are not full time students (or disregarded in any other way) then full council tax is due .I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0
