26th November 2015, 10 years ago

Maybe they haven't understood the consequences. http://www.belvoirfranchise.com/blog/2015-07-10-will-20-tax-relief-change-the-buy-to-let-market...

Reply to the comment left by "Michelle O'Connor" at "11/07/2015 - 13:14": It will certainly make it more complicated. I've always thought the rule that unmarried individuals that buy a property together can choose who pays the tax on what...

Reply to the comment left by "Appalled Landlord" at "11/07/2015 - 01:31": Yes, he is taxing non existent profit in effect. HMRC are saying that it's a very small proportion of landlords that will be affected, but I'm guessing someone...
