Council Tax
If you receive a letter from the Council regarding payment of Council Tax and you are a full time student the chances are you are exempt from Council Tax, if this happens contact Student & Course Information and ask for a student status letter and then send this letter to the council. There may be certain circumstances when a student may be eligible for Council Tax for more information about students and Council Tax see the links below:
