Deducting UK Council Tax on Schedule A as a foreign real estate tax

Can I deduct Council Tax - a UK tax based on real estate value, generally payable by occupants but due from owners if a property is unoccupied - as a foreign real estate tax on Schedule A for a UK property I own? 

My starting argument would be that I can deduct 50% because that's the pure property tax amount - the tax that would be due even if the property was empty. But I would like to deduct it all.
