||All properties used as someone's home will be subject to the Council Tax. The tax is paid by the person living in the property
who has the greatest legal interest.
Usually this is the owner if they live at the property, or the tenant if the owner lives elsewhere.
Additionally the owner will pay tax on the following properties:
- Properties which are empty
- Bedsits, Hostels and properties used by more than one household
- Care Homes and Nursing Homes
- Properties used by Ministers of Religion
If a demand is sent to you that you think that another person should pay, please contact the Local Taxation Section - Revenues Division.
