Do you need to pay council tax for your shed?

Local councils are cracking down on garden sheds that have been converted into living spaces, and the tightening of rules could mean your garden shed is eligible for council tax.

If your garden shed ideas have transformed your space into more than just a space for storing tools, ie, your shed is deemed livable, you could find yourself paying a second council tax to account for the additional living space.

This comes as councils are facing rising financial pressures and are seeking to ensure all eligible self-contained properties, including outbuildings, are properly taxed.
