Higher rate tax paying landlords have lost their legal challenge which may be of interest to some mumsnetters whether tenants or landlords. Landlords had formed "Axe the Tenant Tax" group for the High Court challenge . The result is that landlords with a mortgage and who pay 40% + tax will be taxed on profits they have not made and in fact taxed as if they made a profit even if they made a loss.
This might result in more property sales and more properties for those wanting to buy homes to live in which is the intention of the change or it may result in increased rents or it may mean richer landlords who buy for cash rather than have mortgages and those with incomes including rent under the 40% tax band become the main buy to let buyers.

I do not think their official website of Axe the Tenant Tax covers the latest decision yet www.tenanttax.co.uk/
