Second Adult Rebate
You may also be entitled to council tax benefit if you have to
pay council tax but share your home with somebody else. This is
called Second Adult Rebate. Your own income & savings are not
taken into account in calculating any entitlement to Second Adult
Rebate.
If you share your home with someone who is over 18 years of
age and that person or people are:
- Not paying rent to you
- Not your spouse or partner
- Not liable to pay council tax
- Receiving a low gross income
You may be able to claim a rebate in respect of that person or
persons.
If you are entitled to second adult rebate and council tax benefit the council will compare the two amounts of benefit and award you the highest one. The council will tell you when this happens.
Application forms are available from the Revenues and Benefits Service.
