Benefit - second adult rebate
About this service
If you do not qualify for council tax benefit, you may be able to claim Second Adult Rebate.
There must be at least one non-dependant adult living with you who is on low income, Income Support or Jobseeker's Allowance. Your income and capital will not be taken into account.
Generally, you will not qualify for Second Adult Rebate if you have a partner or a lodger living with you.
The amount of rebate granted will be based on a percentage of the council tax you pay, and will be credited to your council tax account.
| Situation | Rebate |
|---|---|
| Second adult in receipt of Income Support or Jobseekers Allowance(IB) | 25% of liability |
| Second adult gross income less than £144 per week | 15% of liability |
| Second adult gross income between £144 to £185.99 per week | 7.5% of liability |
| Second adult gross income for more than £186 per week | 0% of liability |
