Unfortunatly you can only have council tax exemption for the exact period you are a full time student. So for the period august to jan you will have to pay council tax I am afraid, though you can have 25% discount if you live alone with people who are still students.

It sucks - I had to pay it the summer between the end of undergrad and start of MSc

Hope that helps

The idea behind exemption is that it helps those trying to study but with limited income. It is not intended as a free giveaway to those who own or co own a property. We are not a world wide charity !

Hi, I just need a bit of clarification here.

I am a full time student at college, is this the same in the council taxes eyes as being a uni student ie will I be exempt if I get my own place?

I am living with my parents at the moment, but next year hope to get a place of my own and it would really be a weight off if I didn't have council tax to pay while studying.

I believe it has to be a 'qualifying' course: you could ring the council and check whether yours is, or tell us what it is and someone here might know.
