Council Tax Full-time students All full-time students are exempt from Council Tax so households where everyone is a full-time student do not have to pay. Always, make sure your university has your correct address. Your tenancy agreement may contain a clause that details what your landlord requires you to do in order to prove your exemption status. Please check your contract carefully. If you are required to provide a Council Tax Exemption Certificate, contact your university for further details. To count as a full time student, your course must: Ÿ involve at least 21 hours of study per week Ÿ Last at least one academic year; and International students As a full-time student you will be exempt from paying Council Tax. If you live with a non-British spouse or dependant who is prevented by immigration rules from taking paid employment or from claiming benefits, they will also be exempt. Living with non-students You'll get a Council Tax bill if there's someone in your household who's not a fulltime student, but your household might still qualify for a discount, see the Liverpool City Council website for details.
