If you wish to claim a reduction in your Council Tax bill, please go to Council Tax - Online Forms.

From 1 April 2014, a 50% reduction is available for people living in annexes provided they are related to the person liable to pay Council tax of the main residence.

A discount is also available for people living in properties with an annexe which is unoccupied as the annexe is being used as part of the main residence.
