MP Speaks to Chancellor About Yorkshire Coast Holiday Home Issue

Scarborough and Whitby MP Robert Goodwill has made Rishi Sunak aware of problems around Council Tax and Business Rates.

The number of holiday homes on the Yorkshire Coast which are not paying either council tax or business rates is a problem.

That's according to Scarborough and Whitby MP Robert Goodwill.

He says some properties have been registered as businesses so don't pay council tax, but at the same time fall below the income threshold for business rates.

Robert Goodwill says he has spoken to the chancellor about the issue.

He says the problem has been further highlighted over the last year by the way COVID support grants worked.
