Veterans to receive 25% council tax discount from April

Armed Forces veterans will receive a 25% discount on their council tax from April 2026. Hammersmith & Fulham said that any veteran in the borough who hold a HM Armed Forces Veteran card will be eligible to receive the discount.

The move, the council said, was “in recognition of the brave service of our nation’s Armed Forces,” as well as commemorating the 80^th anniversary of VE Day last year. “This measure reflects our deep gratitude to those who have served our country and ensures that our brave service veterans receive meaningful financial support as part of our commitment to an inclusive and compassionate borough,” it added.
