Tier 5 Visa (GAE) & Council tax

[mayibaibai]

Hi everyone.
I'm a full time PhD student in Japan and now under a government authorized programme (sort of joint exchange programme) in Liverpool. However, UoL asked me to apply the Tier 5 visa thus I need not pay the tuition fee.
I want to apply for council tax exemption, am I eligible?
My landlord asked me for the exemption certification yesterday, so I want to do the application.
Thank you all guys.

Yes you can submit an exemption certificate.

Yes you can submit an exemption certificate.

Hi Amber,
Could you please give an more detailed explaination ?
I don't know what documentation is needed.
Thanks.

The university will, if eligible, give you a certificate saying you are exempt from council tax. Then hand this to your landlord. I assume that the property is full of students?

Yes the house is currently full of student.
I consulted the council office, they asked me to offer my student certificate in my domestic university. And also a letter from my college. Then they will decide whether to give a exemption certificate.
