In law define home
In legal terms, a 'home' generally refers to a place where a person resides, especially as their permanent main residence. It's often synonymous with 'dwelling' or 'residence'. In the context of LGFA *, if it's the place where you primarily live, it would be your 'main residence'.
Does the home refer to commercial property in law
In general legal terms, a 'home' typically refers to a residential property, not a commercial one. However, specific definitions may vary depending on the context and the specific laws or regulations being applied.
Does residential refer to commercial property
In legal terms, 'residential' and 'commercial' are distinct types of property. Residential refers to places where people live, such as houses or apartments, while commercial refers to properties used for business purposes, like shops or offices. They're treated differently under law.
Define the distintion of home and residential
In legal terms, a 'home' is where an individual primarily resides, often considered their permanent main residence.

Does the * act state where you are oligated to pay

Under Section * of the Local Government Finance Act *, a property not falling under the definition of a 'dwelling' may be considered a non-domestic property and be subject to non-domestic rates, often referred to as business rates. This includes properties used for commercial purposes.
Laymans terms
In simpler terms, the Local Government Finance Act * of the UK categorizes properties as either 'dwellings' (where people live) or 'non-domestic' (usually used for business). Council Tax applies to dwellings and business rates apply to non-domestic properties. If a property isn't a dwelling, it might be listed as a separate item in the non-domestic list and charged business rates.
Rates are tax and council tax same
In the UK, 'rates' typically refers to business rates, a tax on non-domestic properties, while Council Tax is a local taxation system on domestic properties where people live. So, they are different forms of taxation applied to different types of properties.
But do you agree both formsbare a tax
Yes, both Council Tax and Business Rates are forms of taxation in the UK. Council Tax applies to domestic properties, while Business Rates apply to non-domestic or commercial properties.
Define the word forms
In a legal context, 'forms' usually refer to official documents or papers that require filling out with specific information. They often serve for legal, administrative, or transactional purposes such as applications, contracts, or tax forms.
Define forms of taxation
In the context of taxation, 'forms' refer to different types of taxes. Here are a few examples:
- Income tax: levied on individuals or entities' income.
- Sales tax: charged upon purchase of goods or services.
- Property tax: based on the value of owned property.
- Council Tax: local tax in the UK on domestic properties.
- Business Rates: UK tax on non-domestic properties.
You note Council Tax: local tax in the UK on domestic properties. Now confirm the legislation that relates to the Domestic properties being taxable exclude the word dwelling
The Local Government Finance Act * is the primary legislation that regulates Council Tax on domestic properties in the UK. However, it uses the term "dwelling" rather than "domestic property". The Act does not specifically contain provisions that exclude the term "dwelling" when referring to taxable domestic properties.
But you state the following: Council Tax: local tax in the UK on domestic properties. Where in legislation does it state domestic property if it is not in fact within the legislation it is in fact excluded
The Local Government Finance Act *, which governs Council Tax, uses the term "dwelling" not "domestic property". While the two terms are often used interchangeably, the Act does not specifically define or use "domestic property". Instead, it focuses on "dwellings" for tax purposes.
Is it not the fact Council Tax: local tax in the UK on domestic properties.
Yes, Council Tax is a local tax in the UK that is levied on domestic properties. However, the legal term used in the Local Government Finance Act *, which governs Council Tax, is "dwelling" not "domestic property". These terms are often used interchangeably in common language.
Show me in law where the definition domestic property is defined as dwelling for council tax purpose
The Local Government Finance Act *, Section * and * in the UK, use the term "dwelling" instead of "domestic property". The Act does not provide a direct definition equating "domestic property" to "dwelling". However, "dwelling" widely covers places where individuals reside, implying domestic properties.
Is it not the fact that a dwelling has to be included on the non domestic list as a separate item to become taxable
No, not necessarily. In the UK, under the Local Government Finance Act *, dwellings are typically subject to Council Tax, not business rates. Non-domestic (commercial) properties are usually listed separately and subject to business rates. However, specific classifications can depend on the property's use.
It is clear in the * act the dwelling under * has to in fact be included on the non domestic list to be chargeable
Section * of the Local Government Finance Act * refers to non-domestic ratings lists, not dwellings for Council Tax. If a property is used for non-domestic purposes, it may be listed in the non-domestic ratings and subject to business rates. However, dwellings typically fall under Council Tax, not business rates.
You state domestic property uses the term dwelling, and for such a definition in the * act all dwellings under * have to be included on the list
Section * of the Local Government Finance Act * indeed relates to the non-domestic rating list. However, it's important to note that 'dwellings' typically refer to residential properties for Council Tax purposes, not commercial properties for business rates. The inclusion of a 'dwelling' in the non-domestic list would be unusual and contingent upon specific circumstances.
Is you rely on the term dwelling it ID clearly defined that it falls under *
While the term 'dwelling' is used extensively in the Local Government Finance Act *, it's typically in the context of Council Tax. Section * pertains to non-domestic properties for business rates, not dwellings. A dwelling listed under Section * would be an exception, not the standard.
So in the * act are you saying * is incorrect
No, Section * of the Local Government Finance Act * is not incorrect. It pertains to non-domestic properties and their inclusion on the non-domestic rating list. 'Dwellings', however, are usually associated with Council Tax, not business rates. Including a 'dwelling' under Section * would be a special circumstance.
So where in fact and law in the * act state that the term dwellings can relate commercial and domestic if it such terms are not stated they are in fact exluded
In the Local Government Finance Act *:
- "Dwelling" typically refers to residential properties for Council Tax.
- Commercial properties, which fall under non-domestic rates, are covered in Section *.
The Act doesn't state that dwellings can be both commercial and domestic. If a dwelling is used for non-domestic purposes, it may be treated as commercial under specific circumstances.
