Chequers: Council Tax

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 15 December 2025UIN 98493

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the second homes council tax premium has been paid on the Prime Minister’s residence in Chequers since 1 April 2025.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

Chequers is owned by The Chequers Trust, and therefore payment of Council Tax is not a matter for the government.
