Visiting Forces exemption
Members of visiting forces and their dependants are exempt from paying council tax if they are not:
- British citizens, or

A property is exempt if the person responsible for it is a member of a visiting force. If a member of a visiting force is not the person responsible for the property, for example they're staying with a British Citizen, then they may be disregarded.
