Question:
I am studying in Sheffield as part of an Erasmus/Study Abroad program, what should I do about Council Tax?
Answer:
You will need to provide a letter from your home University detailing your attendance there and also collect a Certificate of Student Status from SSiD. If you take both these documents to the Council they will assess your situation on a case-by-case basis.
An example of the format of letter your home University will need to provide is available following the link below.
