Council Tax premiums for long-term empty homes 2026-27
How any funding raised from the premiums in 2026-27 should be spent
Whether Welsh Government should change the minimum number of days that a property must be let for in order to qualify for Non-Domestic Rate self-catering accommodation tax status
