Discounts and reductions
Discounts and reductions
Although the focus of this guide is on sources of funding which may be available to you, you can improve your financial circumstances by taking advantage of discounts, price reductions and exemptions from some payments and charges. Depending on your situation, you could possibly benefit from:
- exemption from Council Tax
- reclaiming income tax if you only work during university vacations
- income tax refund on part-time earnings if you earn less than your annual personal allowance
- 30% discount on travel in London, train travel, and long-distance coach travel
- help with health costs under the NHS low income scheme
- NUS discounts in shops, restaurants and cinemas with the Totum card (the new name for the NUS Extra card)
- discounts on clothes, appliances, days out and many other items from money saving websites such as the Royal Medical Benevolence Fund, Savethestudent, the Student Room and myvouchercodes
