I would like to say untill the budget I have never posted on forums whatsoever and have found this discussion so motivating and informative
One thing that has shocked me is reading the articles on websites and newspapers on line, in particular the interview regarding the judicial review the other day is the sheer hatred towards landlords and the poison written in the forums attached. Is it jealousy or a warped perception of the industry we work ? As we all know it isn’t no picnic being a landlord especially at Christmas
I have been a landlord for 12 years and knew we wernt the most popular people, however the way people talk about landlords, with the most being decent hard working people is shocking. Terrorists get better comments than landlords and that’s saying something

The NLA & RLA should do a lot more to promote a positive image of Landlords.
But it’ll be a long job to change decades of vilification.

Very interesting article on the prospects for successful judicial review of clause 24

Barry, my daughter in law is a teacher and she claims that teachers are still suffering from the vilification heaped upon the profession by Margaret Thatcher and her government.

My wife is a former teacher and I would levy the same comments to the NUT, NASWT. In fact, virtually every time the general public heard anything from the teaching unions was when they were calling for strike action over pay/hours.

This is very interesting. He should be an advisor!
It is under EU State Aid provisions however that the landlords might actually have a case. I’ve blogged elsewhere about State Aid Law (here, here and here) and am fascinated by what I see as an overextension of the law in the area. It might seem strange that a provision originally introduced to prevent states from intervening in the single market by favouring their own national undertakings and industries over others could be used to challenge (effective) tax hikes, but that is the strange direction that the law has been taken.
State aid arises where:
there has been an intervention by the State or through State resources
the intervention gives the recipient an advantage on a selective basis
competition has been or may be distorted;
the intervention is likely to affect trade between Member States.
BUT
It is accepted further that the argument in relation to Clause 24 would even then fall at very outer limit.
Of course HMRC have millions of OUR taxes to fight LLs, and it could end up in the European Courts if it is a close run thing.
Meanwhile the vilification goes on.
