What is council tax?

If you’re living in the UK, you may need to pay council tax to your local authority (council). Council tax is a fee that’s used to fund local services, such as waste disposal, parks and recreation facilities, and road maintenance. The amount you pay is based on the value of your property and the number of people living in it.

Do international students need to pay council tax?

In most cases, full-time students in the UK are exempt from paying council tax. However, if you’re not considered a “student” for council tax purposes or if you live in a property with non-students, you may be required to pay council tax. It’s important to understand your council tax status and obligations to avoid penalties.
