NRLA Calls for Landlord Tax Reform to Boost PRS

The National Residential Landlords’ Association (NRLA) has put forward new proposals for the private rented sector, calling for landlord tax reform to encourage investment and increase the supply of homes to rent. The proposals are detailed in a 17-page plan.

According to the report, the NRLA is advocating for changes to Capital Gains Tax rules, energy efficiency incentives, and the restoration of Local Housing Allowance rates. These measures are aimed at supporting landlords and addressing challenges in the private rented sector.

Letting agents and inventory clerks may be particularly interested in the NRLA’s focus on increasing rental housing supply and promoting investment, as these factors can impact the volume and quality of properties available for letting and management.

The NRLA’s proposals highlight ongoing discussions about the role of tax policy in shaping the UK’s private rented sector and the importance of incentives for landlords to maintain and improve rental properties.
