所以 double council tax 什么时候开始实施？
这个费率是每年都有的 surcharge？
现有的房子也参与吗，还是仅限于新购房？
我附近有家hotel的早餐还不错，我经常去那里坐着工作一天点杯咖啡吃原价14英镑折到5英镑的早餐。再走几分钟还有个自助，但是东西太甜了拿了两次就没兴趣了。

Here’s a clear breakdown of what we know so far about the new “mansion tax” (surcharge) announced in the UK 2025 Budget — and also where things remain uncertain (so you’re right to have questions about “double council tax”).
⸻
What has been announced: the new surcharge
• The tax is officially a “High-Value Council Tax Surcharge (HVCTS)” on expensive homes. 
• It applies to properties worth more than £2 million. 
• There will be four valuation bands; owners of the lowest band (homes £2.0–£2.5 m) will pay an additional £2,500 per year, while at the top end (homes worth £5 million or more) the surcharge will be £7,500 per year. 
• This surcharge is in addition to — not a replacement of — existing council tax. 
• The extra revenue from this surcharge is intended to go to the central government (not local councils). 
⸻
When will it start (or likely start)?
• The surcharge is expected to take effect from April 2028. 
• Before that, the government plans a consultation (likely in 2026/2027) on how to implement it — meaning exact rules, valuations, exemptions may still be subject to change. 
⸻
Who pays: new home only or existing homes too?
• The surcharge applies to all homes valued over £2 million, which includes existing homes as well as — if you buy in the future — new purchases. 
• It is a property-value based surcharge — not based on when the house was bought. 
• The tax is on the property owner, not necessarily the occupant. 
⸻
Clarifying your concerns: Is it “double council tax”?
• In a sense: yes — this surcharge is on top of existing council tax you already pay. That means if your home qualifies (i.e. value > £2m), you will pay standard council tax + the surcharge. 
• However, it’s not simply “double” in a fixed sense — the surcharge is a fixed extra annual amount (£2,500–£7,500), not necessarily equal to your original council tax bill.
• The government frames it not as a “doubling” but as a “surcharge on high-value homes.” 
⸻
What is still unclear / subject to change
• The two middle bands (i.e. between £2.5m and £5m) — and their exact surcharge amounts — have not yet been confirmed publicly. 
• The basis for the valuation — how homes will be revalued, and whether a fresh nationwide revaluation of all homes will happen — remains to be defined. 
• It is not yet 100% final: the government says there will be a consultation first, which could bring changes to bands, values, possible exemptions (e.g. for older owners, pensioners, people in certain circumstances) or options to defer payment. 
⸻
What this means (for you / general homeowners)
• If you own a house worth > £2 million today, you’re potentially in scope — even if you’ve owned it for decades.
• From 2028, you should expect an extra £2,500–£7,500 per year, depending on your property’s value.
• This surcharge adds to, rather than replaces, current council tax, so total tax bills could rise significantly.
• Because details (bands, valuation method, exemptions) are not final, you should watch for the outcome of the planned

与吾无瓜，没有超过half m的房子嘿哈
我更好奇的是他们如何3p per mile. 意味着每辆车都必须装tracker。虽然对电车不是问题, 但混车呢？我已经混了十几年, 今年第一次交了二十镑路税, 但我车没tracker 的, 还是以每年mot的路程作数？
