    Council tax on empty homes and second homes in 2009-2018

    Requested Mon 20 May 2019
    Responded  Tue 11 June 2019

    I 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:

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bXVY7unh4_ZcztC2sH1v-QasC6y5UVBrN5nuPI5iuCQ/edit#gid=0

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

    2009 to 2012: 10% discount
