Council tax - change in circumstances

What changes do we need to know about?

• if you move home
• you change your name
• you get single occupier discount and another adult moves in
• if you are a single parent in receipt of single occupier discount and one of your children reaches 18 years old
• if you get a discount for someone living with you and that person moves out, or the reason for the discount no longer exists, such as a student completing their course
• if you are getting disability relief and the disabled person no longer lives with you
• if your property is exempt from council tax and the reason no longer applies
• if your property is empty and the property becomes occupied
• if you are getting Council Tax Support and your income or capital changes.

This is not a full list so if you're not sure if a change may affect your council tax, tell us anyway. In some cases, if you don't tell us about a change, we can take legal action.

When you tell us about a change in your circumstances we will look at your account and, if needed, work out your council tax charge again.
