Keep your single person discount when hosting a refugee
If you normally get the 25% single person discount, you can keep it for 3 months if you take in a refugee.
Who can get this discount?
You may qualify if:
- you live alone and get the single person discount
- you take in a refugee, which would normally end your discount.
If your situation changes...
You must tell us within 21 days if your situation changes — for example:
- another adult moves in
- the refugee moves out.
This discount started on 1 April 2019 and is part of the Local Council Tax Discounts Policy.

You can apply by email to revenues@norwich.gov.uk or post to:

We may already have the information we need, but if not, we’ll ask you for more details.
