Prior to 1 April 1995, the owner of a dwelling occupied only by persons under eighteen was liable to pay 50% council tax because people under eighteen are not counted as residents for council tax purposes and cannot be held to be liable. With effect from the financial year 1995/96, dwellings occupied only by those under eighteen are exempt and, consequently, no liability falls on the owner in these circumstances.
