What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Chancellor increased the income tax rates applied to property income by 2% for landlords in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, effective April 6, 2027. This tax increase does not apply to landlords in Scotland, as property income tax is devolved to Holyrood. The Scottish Association of Landlords stated that any property tax increase could negatively impact tenants and rental supply.
