    You will still have to pay council tax but it will be at a reduced rate , the last I heard it was 25% of the total bill but it could have changed now . The Wail of a Banshee

    someone has to, so unless your renting it out to someone then yes you do still have to pay your council tax. dont take my word for it ask the council starlight

    Yes, you will have to continue paying council tax, but you may be entitled to a discount. Dwellings that are furnished but not occupied as someone’s sole or main place of residence are referred to as ’second homes’ and attract a discount of 10% in my local authority.

    This might be different in your area and other factors may come into play depending on your circumstances.

    Go to the following link to begin checking out the rules in your area and then call your local council for clarity RICHARD T

    i believe that u will only not have to pay the council tax if its unfurnished. if u leave it furnished then u will pay the council tax less 25% discount for being the only adult there. Bren
