Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information his department holds on the extent to which immediate care leavers are liable to pay the full rate of council tax for the property they are living in.

Many local authorities use their discretionary powers under section 13A of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 to offer council tax discounts to care leavers. Information on such discounts is not collected centrally.
