ANGLESEY MULLING ‘GREATER INCENTIVE’ AS FIGURES SHOW ‘LEVEL OF CURRENT PREMIUM NOT ENCOURAGING ACTION’
THE 100 per cent council tax premium charged on empty homes on Anglesey may not be enough to persuade owners to bring vacant properties back into use.
Anglesey County Council is now seeking public views for a potential overhaul of the tax, which aims to bring long-term empty homes back into use and to increase the supply of affordable homes.
The council says it wants a “greater incentive” for taxpayers to bring properties back into use.
Various options for the tax are being mooted in an online survey, including a first option to maintain the premium at its current level of 100% and a second option to increase it to 150%
A third, suggests a stepped increase, depending on how long the property has been empty, by calculating the length of time the property has been empty, from April 1, 2026 - that is, all properties currently paying the premium would have a premium of 0% in the year 2026 to 2027.
A fourth option would see a calculation of the length of time the property has been empty, from the actual date it was last lived in.
