For anyone interested here..
http://england.shelter.org.uk/professional_resources/policy_library/policy_library_folder/rethnking_housing_taxation_-_a_policy_discussion_paper
Is a paper from shelter on Housing Taxation. One point possibly of interest is that Shelter states “ The threshold for rent-a-room relief for the taxation of rental income is too low and presents a barrier to the supply of much needed low-cost rental accommodation. “ & suggest increasing rent-a-room to £9,000pa (comparing it with Irelands’ equivalent of €10,000pa.
Other suggestions, some perhaps unpopular with LLZ devotees, in particular more, higher council tax bands, CGT being paid on PPRs, Housing Tax credit, changes to stamp duty…
Cheers!
