When you think about adding a garden pod, the question of council tax inevitably arises. Do you need to pay it, or can you enjoy your new space without worrying about extra costs? The answer isn’t straightforward and depends on how you plan to use the room.
Key takeaways:
– Using a garden room for personal leisure typically does not affect council tax.
– Garden rooms used as independent living spaces may incur a separate council tax band.
– Using a garden room as a home office might qualify for specific tax exemptions.
– Temporary garden structures generally do not alter the property’s council tax status.
– Consult your local council to verify the tax implications based on your garden room’s use and structure.
