Property Law Definitions Explained
Summary
In the UK, a dwelling for Council Tax purposes must be a hereditament used as a residence. Hereditaments are properties that can be inherited and are rated for tax purposes. Domestic hereditaments are subject to Council Tax, while non-domestic hereditaments are subject to business rates. The Local Government Finance Act 1992 outlines these definitions and the role of the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) in maintaining valuation lists. Section 3 defines dwelling, and Section 24 details the criteria for listing properties. Council Tax bands are determined based on property valuation. For more specific legal advice, consult a local solicitor or the Valuation Office Agency.Full Conversation
