Cabinet recommended that Full Council declares its intention to implement and approve the following additional council tax premiums, to be applied from 01 April 2024, or as 2 soon as possible thereafter, subject to the legislation being in place:
i) A 100% premium for second homes;
ii) A 100% premium for properties that have been empty and unfurnished for a period between 1 and 5 years - this will change the current policy of charging a 100% premium where a property is empty and unfurnished for a period between 2 and 5 years.
