Does anyone know if you pay council tax if you have submitted, but not had a viva? I have a university card until the end of the year, extended 3 months from my original 4 years, rececntly. I got a letter yesterday saying my council tax was going up due to my change of circumstances. We just get a reduction as my partner works.
If you extend your PhD it's worth thinking about your council tax as is an extra expense if you're short of money....

As long as you have a library card you are still a student. You need to get a letter from your university to confirm your extended student status and forward it to the council tax division. They can't know that you are still a student - hence the letter. Just tell them
