Local government

---

Summary

This document sets out the impacts of the proposals to make changes to the council tax system, including giving local authorities more flexibility on what discounts they can charge on second homes and certain empty properties. This is part of the Government's drive to decentralise local control over local government finance, giving local authorities more local control to help them keep council tax down and provide stronger levers to make sure that the housing stock is effectively utilized.
