Second Adult Rebate
If your income, savings or investments are too high to qualify for main Council Tax Benefit, you may be able to claim Second Adult Rebate as long as you have at least one non-dependant adult who is on a low income living with you. Even though Second Adult Rebate is based on the income & circumstances of the second adult(s) it is the bill payer who must apply.
Second Adult Rebate enables you to claim up to 25% off your Council Tax Bill depending on the circumstances & income of the second adult(s) resident.
| Second Adult in receipt of Income Support or Pension Credit living with full time student householder | 100% |
| Second Adult in receipt of Income Support or Pension Credit | 25% |
| Second Adult with a Gross income less than £162.00 | 15% |
| Second Adult with a Gross income between £162.00 to £209.99 | 7.5% |
A second adult is normally a non-dependant adult such as an adult son or daughter. A second adult cannot be a partner or someone who is resident on a commercial basis i.e. paying rent such as a lodger or boarder. A person who is disregarded for Council Tax purposes cannot be a second adult, this includes amongst others people aged under 18, full-time students or people who are severely mentally impaired.
