Question:
I am a full-time student living in a private rented shared house with other full time students - Will I have to pay Council Tax?
Answer:
You will not have to pay if you apply for student exemption. To apply you will need to provide the City Council with a Council Tax Exemption Certificate from SSiD or the SSiD self-service tabe on MUSE. Your landlord may also ask for a copy of this.
