Council Tax discounts

If you are disabled or someone who lives with you is disabled, you may be able to get a reduction in your Council Tax charge. These reductions work by charging Council Tax at a rate one valuation band lower than the banding shown for your property.

Please note that following the link below to apply online will involve setting up an online account first. Alternatively, email us at counciltax@harborough.gov.uk to request a paper application form which you can complete and return to us.

The person liable to pay the Council Tax is eligible for this reduction if a disabled person is living in the property and one of the following is true:

• The property contains a room other than a bathroom, kitchen or lavatory which is predominantly used by and is required for meeting the needs of the disabled person
• The property contains an additional kitchen or bathroom which is required for meeting the needs of the disabled person
• The disabled person needs the use of a wheelchair within the property and there is enough floor space in the property for the use of a wheelchair

The regulations do allow a discount for properties in band A.
