council tax

[Thunderchild]

how long can someoe be in your home as a visitor and not liable to have council tax paid for ?

If there are two or more adults living in the house, another person won't make any difference no matter how long he stays.

If you get the 25% discount as the sole occupier, then it still may not make a difference in limited circumstances, explained here:

If your visitor doesn't fall in to these categories - you must notify the council within 21 days that another adult is living with you. This is assuming your visitor is not living elsewhere where he pays council tax.

problem is my dad moved out of his flat as my grandmother in italy became very ill so he is backwards and forwards and not with me for more than a few weeks maybe 2 months next time he gets back unless he has to shoot out there again.

all i know is I paid full wack for 2 years while it was empty now that i am a sole occupier I get 25 % off... there is at least one person in the council/goverment that need strangling

as far as i am aware , and i may be way off of the mark , but i think if somebody regularly spends more than three consecutive nights at the house then they could be liable to be included for council tax.
