Some people aged over 18 can be ignored when counting the number of adults living in a property. If someone living with you falls into this category then they may not be counted (or are disregarded) for Council Tax purposes and you can claim the 25% discount on your bill. A 25% discount cannot be awarded if, after ignoring all discounted people, two adults remain as living in the property. If there are more than two adults you will not be charged more
