Council tax premiums for long-term empty and second homes: guidance for local authorities

Alongside the Consultation on exemptions the Minister for Local Government and Finance, Rebecca Evans MS has published the long awaited consultation on the revised guidance on council tax premiums for long‑term empty dwellings and second homes. This includes additional options that are available to local authorities in the event that self-catering properties restricted by planning conditions do not meet the letting criteria. However, with time running out till the implementation of the new threshold and responses  requested by 22 December 2022 we have to wonder at the timing of the 1st April 2023 deadline and why a delay cannot be called?
