Dad will be registered as disabled so doesnt have to pay, to help costs towards treatment etc.

Mum may well be registered as a full time carer meaning she doesnt have to pay to help with her bills seeing as shes spending her time caring.

You however, are counted as being in full time employment so have to pay the tax.

That or your mum and dad have already paid theirs and thought that seeing as young steveh is all grown up now and is getting money, he can pay his own damn way.

I thought council tax was payable by the houseowner - one bill per household.

Individuals paying was the poll tax wasn't it?

It costs money to halve bin collections, didn't you know All those police payrises need paying for too.

Council tax is the responsibility of the homeowner or named tennant, therefore, not you. However if your parents are exempt from council tax (no idea on what exemptions or reductions are available for disabled, benefits etc) then you pay nothing either. However if they do pay council tax but at a reduced rate, and part of this is single occupancy discount then that's not right, as the house isn't soley occupied if you are living there aswell.

[Nb]

Council tax sucks, but we all have to pay it. More importantly we get two months free starting in feb.

Hell mend the lot of yous for letting the conservative cabinet push the legislation through.

Speak to your POLL TAX office.
You can apply for discounts/exemptions if a means test finds you can qualify.
Make sure all your money is spent every week on bills. HP don't count much BTW.

But do not expect the un-helpfull cunts who work for council offices to help you.... You may be lucky and get a guy who fancies you though

Get some slacks, a cowboy hat, a rocking chair, a chair and most definately a piece of hay / straw in your mouth, put it all together and tell them to come and claim it.

Well...knowing your luck theyll send out their Gay liason officer who happens to have a fetish for cowboys...
