The level of discount on unoccupied properties for up to 12 months is 10% and a 200% levy for greater than 12 months unless actively marketed for sale or let for up to 24 months. From 1 April 2025, the Council Tax charge for second homes will increase by 100%, in accordance with The Council Tax (Variation for Unoccupied Dwellings) (Scotland) Amendment Regulations 2023.
