Council Tax update - Service Personnel and Students

 

 

 

 

Service Personnel

On 16 May, the Secretary of State for Defence, Dr Liam Fox, announced to Parliament that the Government will:

“increase the rate of council tax relief for military personnel serving on operations overseas from 25% to 50%.”

This is just to inform you that this announcement relates to the Ministry of Defence funded council tax relief (CTR) scheme.  There are no plans to make changes to council tax legislation as a result.

Students

As you are aware amendments to the student council tax (Discount Disregards) Order 1992 came into force on Friday 13 May.   The associated guidance, with updated link to the ERAMUS list of higher education EU institutions, is available on the Department’s website at:
