Who gets council tax discount?
Council tax discounts reduce the amount some people pay, helping those on low incomes, students, or single adults. For example, if you live alone, you usually get a 25% discount. This helps ensure everyone can afford essential services like those provided by emergency services responding to the Edinburgh fire.
