Of course: Yet the OP statedIn this case it can be quite permissible under the council tax system.
If one person moves out and has no intention to return then the property ceases to be their 'sole or main residence'. This means that Person A could vacate, Person B would then remain with a 25% discount at the old property. Person B has never been resident (yet) in the new property so Person A is the sole resident on the new property and could claim a 25% discount.

That of course is another issue that has to be considered - what they could be planning is perfectly legal if the criteria are correctly met. I cast no comment on the actualities of the situation.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 -
