Council Tax confusion

Okay so I’m in a joint tenancy and claiming half the rent for my property because of my conditions and inability to work at present. 

But I haven’t been claiming council tax discount because it confuses me. We have one bill for the property. But how do you divide the payment?

My friend helps with my bills and working out how to pay them but I feel thick and want to be more independent. 

Is this normal to have one bill? Shouldn’t we both have our own separate bill?

If there are two of you, you would typically divide the payment in half @bluefox (either the monthly bill or the final/annual bill). Hope this helps. Some people have one bill and send money to the other person/people to pay and other people have separate bills
