Self-catering firms are calling on the Welsh government to scrap tax bills caused by Covid lockdown.
Due to Covid restrictions, properties were only available to let for a maximum of between 83 and 90 days between April 2020 and April 2021Self-catering businesses are calling for government action after being hit with council tax bills for thousands of pounds.
Some businesses failed to let out their properties for the required nights during 2020-21, largely because of lockdown restrictions, and are liable to pay hefty council tax bills as a result.The Valuation Office Agency specify whether properties pay domestic or non-domestic rates, according to rules drawn up by the Welsh government.About 10,500 self-catering properties qualify for non-domestic rates in Wales, but the VOA will not disclose how many will now have to pay retrospective council tax.
The Professional Association of Self Caterers said Wales spent eight months of the 2020-21 year under national lockdown, in addition to local lockdowns, shielding, travel bans, advice to avoid public transport and limits on households mixing, which all deterred the public from going on holiday.
