If you mean council tax, there are no reductions for age. The only reduction there is is when one person is living alone and you get a 25% discount.

That is my understanding too, but not what the poster says, hence my question!

I did wonder, but kind of thought I might have missed something. HOWEVER, it's worth saying that if someone lacks 'capacity', then they're not liable for CT. When I reported my Dad's death to Mum's local council to get the single person discount applied, the lady did check that Mum was 'with it', because if she wasn't then she wouldn't have had to pay at all.
So, elderly couple MAY get a discount for that reason. I don't know what evidence might be requested.
