从2025年4月开始,38个英国理事会将对非出租或用作假日出租的第二所房屋征收100%的理事会税附加费,约12 300名业主的账单翻一番。 Starting April 2025, 38 English councils will impose a 100% council tax surcharge on second homes not rented out or used as holiday lets, doubling bills for about 12,300 owners. 在此之前,2024年授予新的权力,允许地方当局增加未占用或未充分利用财产的税收,以增加收入。 This follows new powers granted in 2024 allowing local authorities to increase taxes on unoccupied or underused properties to boost revenue. 这些搬迁行动影响到包括Wiltshire、Hillingdon和Winchester等地区,预计到2027年会有更多的理事会跟进。 The move affects areas including Wiltshire, Hillingdon, and Winchester, with more councils expected to follow by 2027. 虽然对与就业挂钩或积极销售的房屋有豁免,但批评者认为该政策不公正地针对那些使用较少当地服务的富有的房主。 While exemptions exist for homes tied to employment or actively marketed, critics argue the policy unfairly targets wealthier homeowners who use fewer local services.
