Young care leaver exemption
Local authority care leavers do not pay council tax in Islington until the age of 25
All Islington care leavers are exempt from council tax and will receive a blank bill if they:
- Are under the age of 25
- Live in Islington
- Claim the other council tax discounts such as Council Tax support, single person discount or student exemption they are eligible for
If you are a care leaver from a different local authority and now live in Islington, please complete the care leavers’ relief form at the bottom of this page and send it back to us.
For support and advice on applying for council tax discounts, or if you are a care leaver and receive a council tax bill, please email claimit@islington.gov.uk or call 020 7527 2633.
