Some councils offer a small discount
25% single person discount
Saves £1,306/year (reducing your bill to £3,917/year). Anyone living alone automatically qualifies. Adults who are full-time students, carers, or severely mentally impaired are disregarded when counting.
Apply for single person discount — Angus→Student exemption
Properties occupied entirely by full-time students are fully exempt — the Band H bill is £0. Mixed households (some students, some non-students) do not get the full exemption but students are disregarded for the single-person discount.
Council Tax Reduction (CTR)
A means-tested discount available to working-age and pension-age households on low incomes. CTR can reduce your Band H bill by up to 100% and is separate from the single person discount — you can receive both simultaneously.
Apply for CTR — Angus→Disabled person's band reduction
If someone in your household is severely disabled and needs extra space or a specific room (e.g. for a wheelchair), your property is assessed as one band lower. For Band H, this means paying Band G rates instead — saving £1,004/year.
