Significant Changes to the Taxation of Residential Property

Individuals who own and let property are facing significant changes to the way in which their rental income is taxed and also to the deductions they can make from their rents. There are new increases in certain allowances and additional surcharges due on the purchase of second homes so we would advise you to review your position now to make sure your investments are still viable.
