25% single person discount
Saves £529/year on your Band C bill (reducing it to £1,587/year). Apply directly to Dundee City council. Anyone living alone automatically qualifies. Adults who are full-time students, carers, or severely mentally impaired are disregarded when counting.
Student exemption
Properties occupied entirely by full-time students are fully exempt from council tax. If your Band C property is all-student, the 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 administered by Dundee City council, available to working-age and pension-age households on low incomes. CTR can reduce your Band C bill by up to 100%. It is separate from the single person discount — you can receive both simultaneously. Apply via Dundee City council's website.
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 C, this means paying Band B rates instead — saving £264/year.
