The Scottish government's draft regulations are subject to approval by MSPs. A consultation was held earlier this year in which 55% of respondents agreed that local authorities should be able to charge a council tax premium on top of regular rates for second homes.
Local authorities will be allowed to double council tax on second homes under plans that have been laid out before the Scottish parliament. The Scottish government's draft regulations - which are subject to approval by MSPs - are part of a joint plan with the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities to 'prioritise housing for living in'. The change - a programme for government commitment - will bring the tax rules on second homes into line with long-term empty homes from April 2024.
However, local authorities have the power to vary the premium and the majority charge second homeowners the full rate of council tax. A consultation was held earlier this year in which 55% of respondents agreed that local authorities should be able to charge a council tax premium on top of regular rates for second homes. In the 2024-25 financial year, the premium will be based on rates from 2023-24.
