The Council Tax (Exempt Dwellings) (England) (Amendment) Order 2012

This Order amends the Council Tax (Exempt Dwellings) Order 1992 as it applies to billing authorities in England. That Order exempts certain classes of dwellings so that they are not liable for council tax. This amendment removes two of the classes from the Order – Classes A and C - so that they are no longer exempt from council tax. Class A covered, for a 12 month period, empty homes requiring or undergoing major repair work, or undergoing structural alteration, or having undergone either if less than 6 months had elapsed since the works were substantially completed. Class C covered empty homes for a six month period or less.
