Looking to rent somewhere soon but wondered if this was applicable as I'm on a full time 3 year course.

To show that you do not qualify as an adult for Council Tax, you’ll need a declaration from your employer stating that:
- you will not be paid more than £195 a week
- the training leads to a qualification accredited by a body recognised by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) or the Scottish Vocational Education Council (SVEC)

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
