    Good points all.

    But £1.2m is surely a drop in the ocean.

    Why on earth is their a council tax discount on second homes at all? :confused:

    I assume all those that complain rabidly about immigration problems will regard those that buy homes in Spain in the same light that they regard the dastardly threat of illegal asylum seekers i.e. scum of the earth? :rolleyes:

    If you think about what council tax pays for (rubbish collection, libraries, public services, primary schools etc.), it seems pretty reasonable. People with holiday homes don't use their full share of those services.

    Good point but if you have more than one car, you expect to pay the full car tax on each one, so why not expect two sets of bills for your two houses.

    here we go ...so lifes not fair ...lets make some more fucking rules about what wre can and cannot do ...what we can own what we can use ...
    more laws less justice!
    maybe we should chuck this fucking idea of freedom all together.
    yes i know that freedom comes with responsibilities but ...the way it's going it will be all responsibilities and no fucking freedom whatsoever.

    You pay vehicle excise duty for the privilege of being able to drive on public roads, regardless of mileage. Not really the same as council tax.

    It's fair to grant a discount to those with second homes in theory. But when you consider how wealthy you have to be to afford two houses, it seems less fair. That's life.

    Well I personally hate caravans. Caravan owners should be shot if they so much as venture onto a road during the day. They're worse than tractors, in the respect that tractors HAVE to use the roads.
    People with crapavans are just gits who do it to annoy me.
