Council Tax for unlivable home?

CIS

all you can then do is seek single occupancy and get 25%

Assuming he is actually resident.

The way things are going, it will cost X2 if you DON'T live in the place. In a similar situation, I got zero rated for 6 months, then a discretionary 6 month extension to this, making it a year. However once used up that's the end of the discount - all you can then do is seek single occupancy and get 25%

If the previous owner took the zero rating, you cannot apply for it again, only the balance of the 12 months.

The Class C Vacant possession had been taken previously. They were vague on the details and wouldn't say much. But I think the Vacant Possession was taken for 6 months, I don't know if it was extended up until I bought the house in month 8 or 9 as it is discretionary. But I doubt the remainder months are transferable and I don't think Durham County Council extend the 6 months

yea I'm a resident and have the 25% now. Think this is all I'm gonna get.

Just strange my brother got told to take his bath out to enable him to get the Class A exemption, and that was the council guy! He got the exemption too and his house was OK compared to mine!

He was in a different constituency

The Government bodies are always inconsistent to different areas. A postcode lottery again!

They would never put anyone on benefits in a house with no heating and water so why do they make me have to pay for one when I'm not living in it.
