Please use the form below to claim single person discount if you are the only adult (aged 18 or over) living at your address.
Or, use the form if you want to let us know that a single person discount no longer applies.
In line with Data Protection law, we may use information you give us to prevent or detect fraud or other crimes. We may also share it with other Council services or public organisations if they need it in order to carry out their legal duties.
Please note: if you are getting a discount but your circumstances change so that the discount no longer applies, the law says you must contact the Council within 21 days of the change. If you don't, you can be fined £50.00. If you still don't inform us after that, you can be fined another £200.00.
The Council is committed to detecting discount fraud and regularly checks discounts claimed. We have access to a wide range of financial, electoral, housing & benefit information to help us prevent and detect single person discount fraud. Reducing fraudulent discount claims helps us to keep Council Tax increases lower.
What should I do if I think someone is claiming a Council Tax discount fraudulently?
There are a number of ways you can tell us about suspected fraud. You can do this anonymously, but if you do give your name we will keep it confidential. We have trained and experienced staff who can provide you with advice if you are unsure about whether to tell us what you suspect.
- Write to us at Council Tax, PO Box 60, 2 Great George Street, Leeds, LS2 8JR
- Email us at council.tax@leeds.gov.uk.
- Ring us on 0845 126 0113 or 0113 398 4730
It is important that you supply us with as much information as possible as this helps us to gather enough evidence to cancel the discount. Due to the Data Protection Act (1998) and Human Rights Act (1998), we cannot tell you what we have done about a case you have reported, but we will investigate all reports and take suitable action.
