    Apparently the Welsh assembly decided they weren't going to give any discounts at all, from what I was told you still have to pay the full whack.

    Well shame on the Welsh assembly, I feel a peed off letter from myself coming on! ;)

    Tesco - £1000 , Carpet - £20, Barclaycard - £50, HSBC - £50 + Car - £1700
    SAVED =£0
    Debts - £2850
  • I also have a question about council tax so I thought I would ask it here.

    I'm currently serving in HMS Sultan an i'm now classed as a student and they get a discount. Is this the case when you live in a MQ?

    But you don't. So you will pay the same as everybody else in FQ's.

    a student with a full time job...so no you don't get a reduction
    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right
  • Like I said before.

    The other's in the same situation as me, but own a house get a discount. They have the same job as me but pay for their house. Both of us pay the same rate of council tax.

    Now he gets the discount and I don't.

    It's not about the full time job otherwise he would not get it.

    Why would you get a discount? You live in a MQ, just because you are on a training course does not entitle you to a discount on your CILOCT....

  • How are some people entitled to it then and not others?

    Entitled to what, a discount in council tax? You are not paying council tax, you are paying CILOCT (Charge in Luie of Council Tax)

    Secondly just because you are on a course at Sultan, does not make you a student...
