Linh Tran New to the UK Wednesday Council tax explained? We moved to Birmingham last month. What's council tax and why is the bill so high? Do students pay it?
It pays for local services (bins, schools, police). Full-time students are usually exempt; apply for the exemption with your student certificate. Single adults get 25% off.
And check if you qualify for Council Tax Reduction. Lots of people miss it.
