Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps are being taken to ensure the Cabinet Office pays the second homes council tax premium in time.
This question was answered on 16th July 2026
Councils in England may apply the second homes premium to Council Tax for dwellings which are substantially furnished but have no resident. Westminster City Council has applied the second homes premium to Council Tax charges for 2026/27 in respect of all such properties for which the Cabinet Office is currently responsible, and payments are being made as a matter of routine.
