My personal tax adviser thinks the 2% is not an addition to what was put in before, so he thinks our rates on rental profit remain at 22 or 42%. Can Property118 double check this please. I have to say,...

My tax adviser has just told me the 2p in the pound is not an additional, Healy was just confirming what had been set in motion before. So we are still paying a rate of 22% or 42%, not 24...

Brilliant isn't it, so they whack up the tax rate another 2 per cent, before the first extra tax rate that was coming in had come in... and before they have had a chance to assess the impact of the...

Where the actual F### do they think people are going to live? I don't see all that many first time buyers with the wherewithal to buy all this property that he wants us to exit.
