A COUNCIL tax premium paid by second home owners in Pembrokeshire is expected to net the council nearly £12.5m.

- BRUCE SINCLAIR

Late last year, Pembrokeshire councillors voted to drop the council tax premium on second homes from 200%, effectively a treble rate, to 150%.

Prior to that, second home owners in the county were charged a 100% (or double rate) premium.

Under Welsh Government legislation, councils can increase the premium on second homes to as much as 300%, effectively a quadruple rate.
