Late last year I asked all landlords to campaign against proposed abolition of class A and C council tax exemptions. Thanks if you did, but if you didn't DON'T COMPLAIN.
From April 2013 Class A anc C exemptions WILL be ABOLISHED.
This will typically mean you as the landlord will pay 100% of the council tax during void period whether unfurnished or not. Your council has, at it's discretion the ability to offer a discount but don't hold your breath.
This new came to me this afternoon courtesy of Ipswich Borough Council when I applied for a class C from today and was told for this reason that is would expire 31st March 2013!
