If you have been in care, for example if you lived in a care home or were fostered, we may be able to reduce your Council Tax bill, or reduce the bill for the person responsible for paying Council Tax, until you reach the age of 25.

To qualify you must have been:

• In care on or after your 16th birthday, and
• In care for at least 13 weeks (continuous or not) anytime from the age of 14

You will need to tell us:

• How long you were in care
• When you were in care
• Where you were in care
• The details of anyone living with you, including the date they moved in

If you were in care with a council other than Trafford, you will need to provide contact details for the council so we can check your eligibility.

If you are a full-time student you could be exempt from Council Tax; read Council Tax exemption for students instead of completing this form.

If your immigration status means that you are unable to access or claim public funds, you will not be eligible for a care leaver discount.
