Since our last newsletter, chancellor Rushi Sunak announced the UK Budget.
With no major changes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) as many landlords feared, the budget in some ways might feel like a let off.
The ‘big news’ story for landlords was of course that Corporation Tax will be increasing to 25% in 2023.
Many landlords that already have limited companies as part of their business structure will see their tax rates increase.
For more on this, a budget summary, market updates and much more keep reading below.

Budget Summary For Landlords
Many landlords who have incorporated to a limited company (sold their properties to their own limited company) will pay the full 25% on all profits.
Landlords in mixed partnership structures on the other hand may still benefit from the tapered rates providing that the business is considered a trading one by HMRC.
Meanwhile, Landlords with properties in personal names will remain unaffected.
For those that are paying full rate of 25% and drawing out the money as a dividend, they could see a combined tax rate as high as 53.6%.
