Council Tax is payable to local councils as a contribution to cost of the services that they provide. The Council Tax bill for a house depends on its value and the number of adults living there. Some houses are exempt, which means that no Council Tax is payable and there will be no bill for the houses. If you are a full time student, you do not have to pay the tax for the duration of your course.
You’ll usually be considered a full-time student for Council Tax purposes if you are enrolled to attend a course of education lasting at least 24 weeks out of the year and study for at least 21 hours per week during term time.
Glasgow City Council will no longer consider you as a full time student when your course ends, if you stop your course early or are no longer permitted to attend by the school, college or university.
