The budget now rubbish it is

[Noras]

my post should read how rubbish is this budget!

So I will only get a state pension and income from an investment property for my retirement ( monies from an inheritance ) as I have looked after my disabled son. So the Gov have gone against me as ever.

But have they gone against the extremely wealthy or huge corporates that exercise price transfer re tax tax or use franchises/ loan agreements etc to legally avoid tax?

Nope.

I actually loathe this government now. They always shield the wealthy and go for the middle classes. Those with a bit of bank interest or a single asset let’s tax that more - easy pickings.

33 billion a year

But the Gov just squeeze the middle classes more - it’s easier and they are cowards or can’t draft the legislation

I was hoping for something stamp duty relief related.

Stamp duty you say?

yes, and this thread is definitely not First Class

It might be like rent smart Wales. The courses the landlords have to undertake which aren't easy unless you're working in housing or organisation that handles rentals. It's expensive too and you're bombarded with every change they can think of which means writing to your tenants each time amendment to rental contracts which have to be signed and agreed to.

It means if the landlord needs to sell it takes six months notice. You have to evict so solicitors costs of around 4k. The tenant who you may like has the stress of being homeless because that's the only way that the council or housing association will consider helping you.

Both landlords and tenants are in an invidious position. Cheap properties are selling so fast before they're even marketed or viewed by the big boys both UK and overseas investors. UAE, Germany, Netherlands are cleaning up.

I do not complain about having to pay tax - I complain about having to pay more tax when nothing is done about the multinationals not paying their fair share.

This seems unfair and frankly cowardly of the government. They go for the easy trapped targets.
They know that land/ property is less flexible.
Also they don’t care about long term damage which all this will cause.

People are increasingly working out exit routes if they can access other passports. If so, there will be a combined capital flight risk.

Income is taxable. Whether you get your income from working or renting out a second home, it's still income and no more deserving of not being taxed than any other income.

Many people don't own one properly let alone a second one which is let to provide additional income.

???

Oh yeah, sorry I get it now 😂

I had to check.

I see what you mean, I do.
