Discount for furnished second homes

Furnished properties which are no-one's main home (e.g. second homes or furnished lettings which are currently without a tenant) attract a 10% discount.

Properties which are made available for short-term holiday letting in the course of a business will not be subject to Council Tax with the 10% discount, but will instead incur Non-Domestic Rates liability (otherwise known as Business Rates).
