✅ Students 100% EXEMPT from Council Tax - But Still Pay Energy Bills
Full-time students are completely exempt from council tax (saves £1,200-2,000/year per household!) BUT you still pay energy, water, broadband. Average student pays £15-25/week energy in shared house (£780-1,300/year). All-student households pay £0 council tax if all full-time. Mixed households (students + non-students) get 25% discount per student. Energy bills separate from rent unless "bills included" tenancy.
