You can get a 100% discount if you're a foster carer or Shared Lives carer living in Royal Greenwich. This means you will not have to pay Council Tax.
You'll need to apply for the discount. You will not get it automatically.
You must pay Council Tax while you wait for us to decide if you're eligible for a discount. If you do not pay, we'll start the Council Tax recovery process.
Who can apply
Anyone named on the Council Tax bill can apply.
How to apply
You'll need to email the relevant team.
Foster carers, email: fostering-recruitment@royalgreenwich.gov.uk
Shared Lives carers, email: shared-lives@royalgreenwich.gov.uk
What happens next
It can take up to 21 days for us to process your application and decide if you're eligible.
We may ask you for more information.
If you're eligible for the discount, we'll send you an updated bill.
You must tell us within 21 days about any change in your circumstances that may affect your entitlement to a discount or exemption. If you do not tell us, you could get a £70 fixed penalty.
If we decide you're not eligible, we'll tell you in writing. You can appeal our decision.
