If the occupation of a property is necessary in order to do the job properly, or has been provided in order for the employee to perform their duties.  Or as a result of a threat to an employee's security, or,  the employee lives in the property as part of special security arrangement, you may be able to receive 50% reduction in your Council Tax bill.

For example:

• Live-in caretaker
• Teacher
• Second home of a publican who is required to live in other licensed premises as a tenant of a brewery
• Ministers of Religion who may have a property elsewhere will also gain a 50% job related discount on their second home.

If you think you may qualify for this discount please contact the Council tax helpline on 01909 533234, or email us at customer.services@bassetlaw.gov.uk

We normally ask for you to provide proof that you pay Council Tax at a main address elsewhere and this is your 'job related' property.  Or contract of employment which states that you must occupy this property for employment reasons.
