council tax query

[Suzyone]

I bought my council house in July 2017 and my daughter and boyfriend are living there with me. I pay full council tax for my home but spend some of my time with my partner who also owns his home. I know that at some point I may have to nominate my main home but can we pay council tax for two houses until I finally move out? My daughter and boyfriend are both over 18 and working. They are happy to house sit whilst I travel back and forward.

Your post doesn't make sense. What are you asking?

The problem would be if your BF is Getty single person discount but you are actually really living there with him. That would be fraud. He would need to give up the discount. And your home wouldn't get it as more than one adult in the house.

You own the house, you pay council tax on it. You have the right to live there but you choose to live elsewhere, for some of the time it would still be classed as your sole and main residence. I assume everything is registered to that address.

This is case law by the way - naval officer away for 9 months of the year on a ship, still liable for the council tax at the property he owns, he has a right of live in it.

I used to work in council tax. Many moons ago.

The only time you will relinquish responsibility is if the council tax is transferred to someone else, ie your daughter or a tenant. Then your boyfriend's council tax will increase to a full charge if he currently gets a single occupier discount. If someone was to tell the council tax office that he is claiming single occupant but you are there, they cannot increase his charge up as you are liable elsewhere. HTH.
