(a)a person is a resident in a dwelling but is not liable for council tax in respect of that dwelling on that day,

(b)other residents in that dwelling (the liable persons) have joint and several liability for council tax in respect of that dwelling on that day otherwise than by virtue of section 77 or 77A of the Act (liability of spouses and civil partners)(1), and

(c)the person to whom sub-paragraph (a) refers is a non-dependant of two or more of the liable persons,

the deduction in respect of that non-dependant is to be apportioned equally between those liable persons.

(6) No deduction is to be made in respect of any non-dependants occupying an applicant’s dwelling if the applicant or the applicant’s partner is—

(e)the non-dependant is not residing with the applicant because the non-dependant is a member of the regular forces or the reserve forces (within the meaning of section 374 of the Armed Forces Act 2006(2)) who is absent, while on operations, from the dwelling usually occupied as that person’s home.

(8) No deduction is to be made in respect of a non-dependant—

(a)who is a qualifying income-related benefit claimant or on state pension credit,

(c)who is entitled to an award of universal credit where the award is calculated on the basis that the non-dependant does not have any earned income, within the meaning given by regulation 52 of the 2013 Regulations.
