If you have moved into a shared accommodation with other full-time students (and no other occupants aged 18 or over), you will need to notify the council that you are exempt by sending in copies of your Council Tax Exemption certificate. This can be emailed to your student email address, downloaded and printed by logging into MyRecord and clicking MyDetails.
Check that your term time address is up to date – if it’s not you can change this in the MyDetails tab (this can take 48 hours to change on the form). Once you have your exemption certificates, all occupants should send them together in the same envelope to your local council.
If you are living in an accommodation with someone ineligible for Council Tax Exemption, you can still send off your exemption certificates to enable them to apply for a single person discount which will reduce the council tax bill for your household by 25%.

For further information please see your local council or email the i-zone.
