answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2018 answer text <p>Owners of second homes are generally liable for council tax. Only where a property is available for short-term lets for 140 days or more per financial year, is it considered a holiday-let, and therefore assessed for business rates instead. However, the Government is aware of concerns about holiday homes and is looking into this issue to see if the criteria under which holiday lets are valued for business rates are appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 19/10/2018 09:17:43 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
