Published 6 days, 17 hours ago
Description

Second home owners in Midlothian, Scotland, face a massive council tax hike of up to five hundred percent, with some bills reaching twenty-seven thousand eight hundred sixty-three pounds. The SNP-run council targets properties owned over three years with the steepest premiums, while newer ones get one hundred to three hundred percent extras. This move, aimed at discouraging absentee ownership, has sparked controversy and debate on whether its a smart policy or just a cash grab that could reshape where folks park their extra pads.
