These are my circumstances.
1. Inherited house from parents with my sister and am joint owner of property.
2. Sister still lives there, I live elsewhere in another county and do not use the inherited home as a second home.
3. There is no mortgage on the property.
4. Sister pays her council tax and council is aware that i do not live there.
So, am I liable for any kind of council tax bearing in mind the above points?
Thanks alot!

Sister is 100% responsible for the C Tax as long as she continues to occupy the property.0

BitterAndTwisted is correct as long as your sister is resident. If your sister ceased to be resident (and the property was unoccupied) then you would both be liable for any council tax due during that period.I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.0
