Moving house can affect your eligibility for Council Tax discounts. If you have a discount in place and then move, you must inform the council as soon as you no longer qualify for that discount; otherwise, you could face a fine. Here's how different situations can be affected by moving:
| Discount Type | Effect of Moving |
|---|---|
| Single Person Discount | If you were living alone and then move in with someone else, you must cancel the discount. |
| Discounts for Disabled People | If you move to a property that does not meet the criteria for a disabled person's discount, you must report this. |
| Carer's Discount | You must ensure that you still meet the residency requirement and confirm your circumstances if they change. |
Make sure to keep the council updated with any changes. You can find more details or make applications online through Swindon's Council Tax discounts page.
