PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(2 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of a time limit for claiming Council Tax exemption under Class F.

Asked by:
Alison Bennett (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

This exemption will apply until probate is granted (or letters of administration are signed) and while the dwelling remains unoccupied. A further 6-month exemption may apply following probate, so long as the dwelling remains unoccupied and has not been sold or transferred. The government does not have any plans to change this exemption.
