Chancellor's tax crackdown could cost landlords £7,000
Landlords are running out of options for keeping their buy-to-let businesses in profit, as the Government plans a tax crackdown that could cost them almost £7,000 each. Chancellor Rishi Sunak is considering increasing the rates of capital gains tax, which is charged when an investment property is sold, to bring them in line with income tax. Landlords face a double whammy as Mr Sunak is also looking to increase corporation tax from 19pc to as much as 24pc. This will affect buy-to-let owners who have chosen to incorporate their properties. A record number of landlords did so last year after previous tax crackdowns since 2016 made it increasingly unprofitable to own a buy-to-let in their personal name. About 229,000 buy-to-let businesses are now run using a company, according to Hamptons International, the estate agency. The proposed capital gains hike would cost the average landlord an extra £6,800 in tax when selling up, calculations by Hamptons have revealed. London landlords, who have typically seen the biggest gains, will see their tax bill rise the most – by £26,840. Higher-rate taxpayers would be hit by a 40pc capital gains tax rather than the current 28pc on their gains. The analysis assumes landlords have not already used up their £12,300 annual tax-free allowance.
