Lay My Hat

Hello Joanne,
You said you are border line council tax or business rates. For you, what constituted being border line? A certain number of weeks a year, or the extent you advertised? Was that the 26 weeks a year mentioned by Christine in the case of Cumbria?
Wonkeye

Thanks Christine! Maybe we'll let it simmer for a while and not forget to look at the blurb. Will be interesting if anyone has any dire warnings.

(I seem to have called myself Wonkey instead of Wonkeye further up the page. Haven't used my childhood nickname for years. Slip of the pen.)

Thanks Christine! I've still got the info from the Council so shall doublecheck. We actually plan to use our cottage both as a second home and as a holiday let. We live permanently in Holland (we're a mixed Dutch/English couple) and plan to visit every couple of months. We won't in any case be excee...

We’ve just joined LMH and are about to begin letting our cottage in a month or so. We thought we’d covered all the issues, but have just been made aware of the issue of whether to opt for rating as a business or continue with council tax. We actually went along to the council, after hearing that one...
