If a house is empty and owned by a landlord and eligible to pay council tax, is it classed as commercial or residential?

The Government picks up the tab for money not collected by Hyndburn, but they will start squealing at a non collection rate of 7%! No houses are classed for business rate purposes.
By the way, if you want to look further, you can download the Excel file (Table 5) from the government's own web site:-
