Quick Poll: Should second home owners pay more council tax?

We want to know what our readers think about Highland Council plans to tax second home owners more. Starting from 1 April 2026, the second home charge will be 300% for the 2026/2027 Council Tax year. This is due to rise to 400% of the base rate in 2028/29.
