As the cost of living crisis continues to hit peoples’ pockets, Britons are being reminded that certain groups don’t have to pay Council Tax. Almost three million people are missing out to the tune of around £900 each - could you be one of them?

Seven groups of Britons typically qualify for free Council Tax or a significant reduction on their bill.

• People on a low income could be eligible for a Council Tax reduction of up to 100 percent
• Pensioners who receive the guarantee credit part of pension credit may not have to pay council tax
• Single person households should receive a 25 percent discount
• Disabled people - the bill may be reduced if a person with a disability lives there.
• Students - or households with one student should receive a discount
• People who are severely mentally impaired including people with dementia receive a discount
• Carers sometimes get a reduction depending on their circumstances

Meanwhile, 80 percent of households who live in a Band A to D property are due a £150 rebate this April.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a discretionary fund of £144million to support people on a low income who don't pay Council Tax.

Britons who are exempt from paying Council Tax could still get financial help worth £150.

They will need to get in touch with their local authority to find out.
