Merry Christmas!
From all at Less Tax 4 Landlords
Welcome to our final and festive newsletter of 2020.
It was the year we stayed home – the year no one could have ever predicted.
And we were reminded once again that for businesses, including property businesses – cash is king – and to remain competitive we need to be flexible and act fast, stay focussed on our top priorities, explore all possible solutions, and perhaps most importantly – keep connected with each other.
We hope our efforts to keep everyone informed in a safe manner, through online consultations, the launch of our Video Vault, our Live Webinars, our LT4L News and Blogs were helpful.
We’ll now be taking a little break over the holiday season and our Horsham & London offices will be closed from 12:00pm today Wednesday 23rd December, reopening at 9am Monday 4th January.
During this time we will be prioritising ongoing client work only, though do feel free to write to info@lesstaxforlandlords.co.uk with any queries as they come to you and we’ll be in touch in the New Year if not before.
Lastly please allow us to take this opportunity to thank you for being a valued LT4L News subscriber in what has been an unprecedented year, and to wish you and yours all the best for the holiday season and a very happy new year.
Hopefully, you’ll find a moment to relax yourself and have a quick read of our new LT4L email newsletter below.
Yours
The Less Tax 4 Landlords Team

Capital Gains Tax Review – Policy or Speculation?
You’ve probably already heard by now, the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) has, among other things, called for consideration that Capital Gains Tax rates be increased to match income tax rates.
It’s Too Late for 2021 – How to Make 2022 Your Best Year Yet
2020 has not been an easy year for landlords and with the self-assessment deadline just around the corner, 2021 is not looking any better either – at least from a cashflow perspective.
It’s possible that we can help turn 2022 – a year that is highly likely to be your worst projected year for cashflow, into your best year yet. You can get in touch by taking a free initial assessment. Or you can read more in our blog below.
