Conwy county council have decided to go ahead with plans to introduce a massively higher council tax premium for second home owners in the county. The final decision was made at a meeting last Thursday, December 8.
The council's cabinet has decided to pursue its plans to increase the tax to 50% in 2023 and then double it once again to 100% in 2024. Currently, the council tax premium in the county stands at 25%.
It comes after Gwynedd Council have also decided to make changes to their council tax premium by increasing it to 150% by April of next year. Meanwhile, Bridgend county is also looking at a premium of 100% from April, with a proposal that this be increased to 200% in two years time. Swansea and Pembrokeshire councils have already increased their council tax premiums to 100%.
