Student and dependant council tax exemption

[Peted]

Hi all. At first this may not sound like an immigration question, but it is in the end.

I am a student on Tier 4 general visa, and my married partner is on a Tier 4 dependent partner visa. He's not a national of Switzerland or a EU country, and he has a "no recourse to public funds" attached to his visa condition. He is not a student. It is only me and him living in the flat. Despite this context, we were given a council tax to pay because he's not a student. After we made some phone calls and e-mail messages about the law, as well as sent the necessary documentation, we were given full exemption. In the letter of confirmation we got from the council, it says "reason for exemption: dwelling occupied by students only".

Well, while we are exempt, it is innacurate to state we're both students since he is not. I sent anothe e-mail to the council clarifying this once again, but goy no reply.

Can this be an issue in the future regarding immigration matters? I mean, they may conclude I informed it is only students in the house, but I never did so. I made it clear in all my messages and documents that I am the only student and he is my non-EU married dependant with a "no recourse to public funds". I fear we may be accused of having lied or claimed public funds, and we're not allowed to do so.

Any thoughts on this?
