Hello! I am a student from Poland.A few friends of mine and I we are going to visit the area of Leicester this year. We are renting the house for two summer month. I know that students don't have to pay COUNCIL TAX !! Does this rule applays to foreign students too ?
If so, what kind of documents shoul we produce in order not to pay councli tax ?

it only applies while you are studying, it depends on the council i guess. but when i was studying i had to take a letter from the university and my tenancy agreement to the council offices to prove i was a student. it only applies if EVERYBODY in the house is a student. otherwise you have to pay 75%

there are a lot of students in my area, so now I am working I am lumbered with their share of the tax... aaaargh!

hi there this rule does apply for ALL students including you, just get a the council tax certificate which your student office should be able to give, and send it off to the council tax office and your done

Thank you very much !!
So maybe you can tell me if I should translate this document ?
I think that the document produced in Polish will not be reliable ?
