General Election 2024

Won't anyone think of the landlords?

Rishi has just proposed 0% CGT if you sell to a tenant. If you don’t
think that this will be abused I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
Transactions on properties pregnant with capital gains will be
structured as a tenancy to the purchaser followed by a sale. I suspect
they will also agree a lower price, sharing the capital gains tax
saving whilst also saving SDLT in the process.
