single person discount

Postby paulireson » Thu Sep 28, 2017 5:32 pm

Myself and girlfriend / partner have two houses in different councils each in our own separate names -we are not married - we stay in my house 1/3 time hers 2/3 time approx depending on circumstances - sometimes we are on our own in each house Can we both claim 25% single person discount on our council taxes All our bank accounts , tax bills , vehicles etc are registered at separate addresses Gov advice on this seems unclear ?
anyone any ideas on this - we cannot both be living in two houses at same time ??

Check the respektive councils policies on single person / empty property / second home discounts and sort out your movements accordingly.
PS I assume that neither you nor your girlfriend are in prison, in armed forces or incapacitated in hospital.
