Visiting forces

A dwelling is exempt from Council Tax if one of the liable parties has a relevant association with a visiting force.  A 25% discount may apply where the member associated with a visiting force is not liable to pay Council Tax and all but one of the adults living in the property has a relevant association with a visiting force.  For example, where a member of a visiting force is lodging with a British citizen, a 25% discount would apply.

This discount reduces your Council Tax, water and sewerage charges.

Eligibility

To have a relevant association a person must be:

• A member of that force, or a member of a civilian component of the force; or
• A dependent of a member, provided that the dependent is not a British citizen or is not ordinarily resident in the UK
