Changes to the Non-Domestic Rating Order 2022 apply from 1 April 2023 as well. As of that date, self-catering properties must be available to let for at least 252 days in any 12-month period and must actually be rented for at least 182 days.
Using the new thresholds will ensure that self-catering properties are only classified as non-domestic properties if they are being used for business purposes for the majority of the year and make a substantial contribution to the local economy as a whole. Self-catering properties that fail to meet the new letting criteria on 1 April 2023 will be classified as domestic properties and will be subject to the same council tax as domestic properties.

Council tax premium exceptions have therefore been extended through new legislation. In addition, it will include properties that are subject to planning conditions that prohibit occupants from occupying those properties for the purpose of living as their sole or main residence or specify that they may only be used as holiday accommodation. When such properties do not meet the letting criteria for non-domestic properties, council tax will be charged at the standard rate, but no premium will be charged

I think this is different from renting from a buy-to-let landlord - this is specifically for second homes and holiday accommodation.
