Minutes:

The report of the Director of Finance and Transformation drew attention to a technical ambiguity in the Council’s local council tax reduction scheme in respect of the Class C discount for empty properties.  A suggested amendment to the wording of the scheme was presented to mirror the former statutory provisions.

 

RECOMMENDED:  That the following wording be incorporated into the local scheme regarding Class C discounts: “when looking at any day for the purposes of a Class C discount, periods of occupation of less than six weeks are ignored”.
