How It Works
If you're renting out your property as a short-term let or Airbnb, there's a good chance you're paying Council Tax when you don't need to — and that mistake could be costing you thousands every year.
Most hosts don't realise that properties used for short-term rentals can often be switched to Business Rates and qualify for Small Business Rate Relief — meaning your annual bill could drop to £0. On top of that, many owners are entitled to refunds of overpaid Council Tax going back up to 3 years.
At Host Tax Back, we've simplified the process so you can claim your savings without dealing with confusing forms or local council delays.
Complete Our 4-Minute Form
Start by filling out our quick online form. We'll gather a few key details about your property to see if it qualifies for Business Rates.
We Review Your Eligibility
Our tax experts determine the rateable value of your property and assess your property against government criteria for Furnished Holiday Lets and Business Rates — ensuring you meet all requirements before we submit your claim.
We deal with the VOA and your local council on your behalf
We take care of the full process from start to finish — contacting the VOA (Valuation Office Agency) and your local council, preparing all documentation, and applying for both Business Rates registration and Small Business Rate Relief on your behalf and following up to ensure timely completion.
You Receive Your Refund & Savings
Once approved, you'll receive a refund for overpaid Council Tax back to 2023 and never have to pay a penny in Council Tax again.
How Long Does It Take?
The process of switching from Council Tax to Business Rates can typically take 12 to 24 months when handled directly through the council and Valuation Office Agency — especially if no one is actively chasing it. At Host Tax Back, we don't let your claim sit in a queue. Our team regularly pushes your case forward, following up with the relevant departments to keep things moving and ensure your refund and reclassification are completed as quickly as possible.
What It Costs
Our service is completely no win, no fee — meaning there's no upfront cost to you.
If we successfully secure your refund, our fee is 15% of the combined value of your refund and first-year Council Tax saving. If we don't get you a refund, you pay nothing.
