Your FAQ

Question: Why does the Isle of Wight only offer a 10 per cent second home discount when it is 50 per cent where I live?

Answer: The legislation allows each Council to set their own level of discount and the Isle of Wight decided that from 1Apr2013 the 10 per cent discount would change to 0 per cent and therefore a full charge will be payable.
