我想问大家，买了第二套房子之后，把第一套出租出去，那第二套房子还是需要交双倍的council tax吗？谢谢大家。
当然不会，租客自己交自己council tax
那还不是，第二套房变成了主居所，第一套房变成第二套出租房产？
What Qualifies as a Second Home?
Any property you own, aside from the one you consider your primary residence, is generally regarded as a second home. This could include a variety of scenarios, such as:
- A holiday home or vacation property
- A buy-to-let or rental property for investment purposes
- A home owned jointly with a family member
- A property purchased for your children’s use
The key factor is that it’s not your main place of residence, where you live most of the time and consider your permanent home.
我的情况是在爱丁堡现在住的房子没有贷款，不舍得卖，想再买一套，把现在住的房子出租出去，那再买那一套是不是就算是第二套房产，然后council tax 就应该是double了？
A second or additional home to be used as your main residence(in which case, you have to prove that. you have sold your previous main residence).
谁住谁交Council tax。如果空着，房主交。 Council tax上面写多少是多少呗
Second home council tax changes in England
Second home owners in England could face paying twice the amount of second home council tax from April 2025, under a new law. Under the Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023, councils were given the discretion to charge additional council tax of up to 100% on furnished homes not used as a sole or main residence.
This means second homeowners will have to pay thousands of pounds more each year in second home council tax in many cases.
Each council will need to vote on whether to charge additional council tax on second homes and the council then needs to give a year’s notice before implementing the increase.
Councils that have already voted in favour of the move include Bath and North East Somerset council, East Devon District Council and North Norfolk District Council. Not all councils have voted on this yet, so check your council’s website more information. However, some exceptions have been proposed, read on for more on this.
What is classed as a second home for council tax reasons?
When it comes to second home council tax rules, second homes are defined as furnished properties where no one lives or the owner has a main home elsewhere.
How to avoid second home council tax
Is it possible to avoid second home council tax? Some second homeowners in England have been registering their property as a business and letting it out through agents or Airbnb, in order to avoid council tax completely and access small business rates relief instead.
However, there has been a recent tightening of the rules. In previous years, simply declaring an intention to renting out a property as a holiday letwas enough for someone to avoid council tax. But now, the criteria to access small business rates relief is becoming stricter:
Buy to Let: Who is responsible for paying council tax?
If you own a property and let it out to one household, your tenants will usually be responsible for paying the council tax. However, in some instances the owner of the property is responsible for paying the council tax, such as if the property is let as a House in Multiple Occupation – where rooms are let individually.
If you’re considering investing in a Buy to Let property there are other costs to factor in such as having to pay a higher rate of stamp duty if you already own a property and you may need to pay capital gains tax (CGT) when you sell.

市政府税大都是谁住谁交，你既然出租出去了，那就是由你的租客交,但是如果你还没租出去就得由你来交了直到你找到新租客。如果你不出租又想不给双倍税，你可找个除夫妻以外的人挂个名也可，我就是放我妈的名上去，一个人还能有折扣，但必须18岁以上
有些房东是出租房间的，所以房东付CT
嗯，确实，有些出租类型的房子确实也是房东交，我主要说的是大多数普通住房出租类型的，按楼主的情况应该是还是属于正常出租类型的就是谁住谁交.
嗯，确实
想OP出贴问的不寻常，可能案例不寻常
分租出去好几户的，包 bill, 确实要房东付Council tax.
