They are assessed for business rates if they are available for short-term lets for 140 days or more per financial year.

It ensures that properties do not switch year-to-year between council tax and business rates merely due to success in letting out the property. However, the Department is aware of concerns about this criterion, and is considering whether it remains appropriate.<\/p><p> <\/p>"}
