Indeed DP. The government will keep pushing the envelope until we refuse to comply. Re MTD, apparently it’s even been suggested that landlords should pay tax monthly.

Reply to the comment left by David Payne at 10/09/2026 - 16:33Basically the government is skint, and private landlords are a soft target. I'll wager that the 'Making Tax Digital' scheme will soon mirror VAT in demanding not just records,...

Absolutely Accomod8. The government thinks landlords are the gift that keeps on giving. Until it doesn't.

Reply to the comment left by Paul Essex at 09/09/2026 - 12:11Will this replace Selective licencing? It seems daft to pay twice to provide the same data.

Odd that the NRLA didn't mention Section 24, former chancellor George Osborne's discriminatory plan to remove tax relief on landlord finance costs; further confirmation that cancelling my NRLA subscription was justified. At £125 pa the organisation offers little insight compared...

The government claims that selective licencing is imposed only on 'problem areas', but this is hard to believe when areas include regions of considerable affluence with very low levels of complaints or evictions. In reality the scheme is a crafty...

Reply to the comment left by Billy Gunn at 13/05/2026 - 14:25You may be right Billy, I’ve only heard of the 2030 date but may have missed something. It will be interesting to see if the announced deadlines are adhered...

Excellent points Paul. The government carefully crafted an alleged ‘rogue landlord’ majority to cynically score political points, damaging tenant/ landlord trust in the process. I won’t be surprised if they tweak the EPC algorithm for 2030 so that unimproved ‘D’...

Reply to the comment left by Steve Rose at 12/05/2026 - 12:34Handing over a valuable asset without being permitted to check that payment has been received goes against millennia of business practice, and surely won’t survive a court challenge.

Spot on. The aim is surely to put sole traders and landlords on the same footing as VAT registrants, where payments are made every quarter, and the government really should have the decency to admit this. Worth remembering that partnerships...

Reply to the comment left by Saul Smart at 24/01/2026 - 00:20Has Ed Milliband actually thought about what one point - the difference here between an EPC score of D and C - actually means in environmental performance terms? If...

Unlike appliance rating labels, EPC scores are relative, not absolute. That’s how a five bedroom detached house and a studio apartment in a block of flats can share the same score, when obviously their energy losses will differ. In the...
