FOI request (FOIR-119795676)
Council tax on empty homes and second homes in 2009-2018
Requested Mon 20 May 2019
Responded Tue 11 June 2019I am a researcher in Economics at University College London.
For my research, I would need the council tax discount/premium on second homes, on homes empty for longer than 6 months and homes empty for longer than 2 years as a percentage of the standard council tax in your council from 2009 to 2018.
The following link contains an excel template of the exact information I would need for my research:

Could you please send me an excel file that replicates the template with the tax premium/discounts applied in your council?
