This is the redesigned Newark and Sherwood website
We have moved three sections to this site – Council Tax, benefits and financial support and bins, waste and recycling. Over the next few months we will redesign and move the rest of the website.
Apply for Council Tax discounts and exemptions
Find out what discounts, reductions and exemptions you may be able to claim to reduce your Council Tax bill.
People not counted for Council Tax
Some people are not counted (disregarded) when working out how many people are living in a property.
You may be able to get a discount on your Council Tax if you fall into any of the following categories:
- under 18 years old
- on certain apprenticeships schemes
- 18 or 19 years old and in full time education
- full-time student at college or university
- student nurse
- severely mentally impaired
- carers
This list is not exhaustive. Further information about Council Tax discounts can be found on GOV.UK.
Contact the Council Tax team if you think you or someone you live with should not be counted for Council Tax purposes and we'll explain how to apply.
