Resident detained in prison or hospital
A person who is detained in prison or hospital is disregarded for the charging of Council Tax (unless they are serving a prison sentence for not paying Council Tax).
Please use the Council Tax Discounts, Disregards and Exemptions online form to advise us of the details.
Once we have been told that someone has been sent to prison or is detained in a hospital, a form will be sent to the establishment. Once the completed form is received back from the prison or hospital where the person is detained we will apply the disregard.
