Landlords Face £500 Annual Tax Hit Per Property, Analysis Finds
Landlords could face almost £500 in additional tax per property per year as a result of John Healey's Budget, according to calculations reported by Landlord Today. The Lettings Partnership modelled the estimated annual income, operating costs and tax liabilities of an average buy-to-let property, and how those figures change following the tax increase on landlords announced by Healey last week.
The analysis points to a significant per-property cost increase for landlords in the buy-to-let sector. For letting agents and inventory clerks, it is a further signal of pressure on landlord margins at a time when operational costs and compliance requirements are already under scrutiny.
The brief does not include further detail on the specific tax measure, its implementation timeline, or how the £500 figure breaks down across different property types or portfolios. Letting agents may wish to monitor the original report for additional context as it develops.
