People with Disabilites

If you, or someone who lives with you, need a room, or an extra bathroom or kitchen, or extra space in your property to meet special needs arising from a disability, you may be entitled to a reduced Council Tax bill.

 

The bill may be reduced to that of a property in the band immediately below the band shown on the valuation list. If the property is in the lowest band (A) then a reduction may apply. These reductions ensure that disabled people do not pay more tax on account of space needed because of a disability.

 

The Vale of Glamorgan Council can give you details.
