Q: I have heard that carers can get a reduction in Council Tax. Is this true?

A: If you care for someone, who is not your partner or child under 18, for 35 hours a week or more, then you may be discounted for the purposes of Council Tax. If the person you care for has severe mental impairment, they may also be discounted. The discount on Council Tax depends upon how many other people live in the household, and the rules are quite complicated.
