Homes for Ukraine discount
Providing accommodation
If you are a host and provide accommodation to someone living in the UK under:
- the Homes for Ukraine (HFU) Sponsorship Scheme
or - the Ukraine Permission Extension (UPE) Scheme
and you currently receive a council tax discount or exemption at your home address, this will generally remain unaffected.
Make sure you report that the person has moved in with you and provide evidence that they are resident under the Homes for Ukraine Sponsorship Scheme to retain your discount or exemption.
If you a Ukrainian resident, you can apply for a 50% council tax discount if:
- you and any other adult resident in the property are living in the UK under the Homes for Ukraine (HFU) sponsorship scheme
- you are living in your own accommodation (not in your sponsor’s home)
A discount does not apply if you are a Ukrainian resident and you live in your own accommodation under the Ukraine Permission Extension (UPE) Scheme.
