Non-dependant deductions from Council Tax Reduction
Last Updated: 3 April 2024
If an adult (other than your partner, boarder, lodger or joint tenant) aged 18 or over lives in your household, weekly deductions will be made from your entitlement.
There is no non-dependant deduction if you or your partner are:
- registered blind
- receiving Attendance Allowance
- receiving the care component of Disability Living Allowance
- receiving any rate of the daily living component of Personal Independence Payments
If you are of pensionable age and a non-dependant moves into your household the non-dependant deduction is deferred for 26 weeks. Any increase in a non-dependants gross income causing an increase in the non-dependant deduction will also be deferred for 26 weeks from the date of the change. You are still required to advise us of any changes in your household's circumstances as they occur.
