IS MORE FINANCIAL PAIN ON THE CARDS FOR LANDLORDS?
The prospect of more financial pain for private sector landlords has forced our lettings director to write to the government in protest. Information reported in the Times newspaper late last month indicated the Treasury was
considering making landlords pay National Insurance (NI) on profits from their rental income. If implemented it could raise an additional £2.3 billion for the government. Under the proposals, the national insurance system – which currently
excludes property income – would be expanded as part of wider efforts to address a projected £40bn gap in the public finances. Stamp duty reform and capital gains tax on principal homes have also been suggested, all aimed at raising additional income.
