Report Council Tax fraud
Council Tax fraud is committed when someone deliberately gives false or misleading information so that they can pay less or no Council Tax. This includes:
- claiming to live in a single-person household to get the single person discount when more than one person lives in your home
- pretending to be a student to get the student discount, when you are not a student
- failing to tell us that you no longer need to claim a Council Tax reduction or discount
You can avoid committing Council Tax fraud by telling us about any changes in your circumstances as soon as they happen.
