Annual summary data are available, however, on the total dwellings classed as vacant for council tax purposes and, of those, the number that have been vacant for more than 6 months.</p><p>Local authority level data as at 3 October 2016 can be found at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/587691/LA_Drop_down_-_revised_Jan.xlsx" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/587691/LA_Drop_down_-_revised_Jan.xlsx</a></p><p>The Government is committed to bringing empty properties into use - that is why we have given local authorities the powers to charge up to 100 per cent council tax on empty homes. In addition, a premium of up to 50 per cent extra council tax may be charged on properties that have been unoccupied and substantially unfurnished for two years or more. These powers form part of a wider package of initiatives and measures to tackle empty homes.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 03/07/2017 16:02:12 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
