Domestic Property Council Tax

Summary

Domestic properties under Section 66(1A) of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 are generally not considered dwellings and are not liable for council tax. However, if these properties form part of a larger property classified as a dwelling (composite hereditament dwelling), they are liable for council tax. The Council Tax (General) Regulations 1992 (SI 1992/552) and case law such as R (On the Application of Williams) v Horsham District Council [2004] EWCA Civ 39 and East Sussex County Council v Allen [2009] UKUT 158 (LC) support these points. The VOA Technical Manual also clarifies that reclassified non-domestic properties are removed from the council tax list.
