Council tax
Young people who are aged under 18 are not liable to pay council tax in Lincolnshire. They are also disregarded if living in someone else’s household, so will not affect any council tax benefit or discounts that the householder may be receiving. Once they reach 18 however, they do become liable to register for and pay council tax if they have their own tenancy. In Lincolnshire all 7 district councils have agreed that care leavers will be eligible for a council tax discount of 100% until the age of 22 when it will be incrementally introduced.
The following all offer council tax relief up to the age of 25:
- North Kesteven District Council
- Lincoln City Council
- South Kesteven District Council
- West Lindsey District Council
- East Lindsey District Council
