<p>35 billing authorities in England did not apply a council tax premium in 2017-18
on homes that have been empty for two years or more – which is the latest year for
which data is available centrally (see table below). Some of these authorities may
have introduced the premium in 2018-19. Of the 291 billing authorities that applied
a premium in 2017-18, three applied premiums at less than the 50% rate. These are
Harrogate (25%), Richmondshire (10%) and Rutland (10%)</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Billing
