Amendment to the Council Tax Premium for Long-Term Empty Properties - Duplicate Issue
The Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and
Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Act increases the empty property
premium's maximum level to 100% from 1 April 2019 for properties
that have been empty for more than two years.
The Revenues and Benefits Section is looking to increase the
premium from 50% to 100% to encourage owners of empty properties to
bring them back into use.
