Wednesday's particularly silly question - council tax

S

Do I pay it as a PhD student? If so, what about in the 4th (post-funding) year?

T

As far as I understand as long as you are registered as a student you are not eligible to pay it. But if someone lives with you who isnt a student then they have to pay it.

You've just made my day. That's an extra £90 of beer money every month when I start in September - wicked!

T

I plan to cycle to uni when i start my PhD so I dont need a car.. so thats saving on road tax, insurance and fuel costs.. more money for beer and helping the enviroment

S

I'll be using Shanks's pony to go into uni everyday!

S

I'd also be interested to know if it applies to PT students
