council tax query
13 Answers
My daughter is buying her property but wants to put everything in storage, decorate and sell it. In the meantime she wants to move in with me.
I live on my own so get 25% reduction on my council tax.
Would she have to pay council tax on her empty property?
I would have to pay full council tax and she would have to help with it but that would mean she was paying council tax in two properties.
Any idea what the situation would be or does it differ depending on your council?

50% of the amount is based on the property (hence why you have to pay 50% after a certain time even if it is empty) and 50% is based on the people (2 or more). So if you only have one person, it is 50% of the 50%, so 25% discount.
Doesn't matter if you have 2 or 52 people you still pay the same, better way of doing it than poll tax for some people I believe.
