Yes, if your Airbnb property sits on the council tax list as a second home, local councils in England can charge a premium of up to 100%, meaning double council tax. This applies to properties that do not meet the 140/70-day business rates threshold or that the VOA has moved back to council tax. Councils including Cornwall, North Norfolk, and Dorset have implemented or announced the 100% premium. If you qualify for business rates, the property is removed from the council tax list entirely and the premium does not apply.
