  • Hi All

    I understand as a home owning student nowadays that you can get 25% council tax discount (certain terms and conditions apply etc.) but does anyone know if you can claim back any discount if you have finished studying?

    I sat a 5 year degree course back in 2007 and potentially could be ~£1800 better off if this was the case.

    Probably clutching at straws, but worth an ask!

    Thanks

    Dave

    You may get a better response if you post in the 'Reclaiming Council Tax' sub-board.
