FREE Training & More : https://linktr.ee/russellleeds
In this episode of the Property Investors Podcast, Russell and Anna Leeds discuss a new tax being introduced by the Labour Party targeting small landlords. This national insurance tax will disproportionately affect individual landlords owning properties in their personal name, potentially causing them to pay more in taxes than they earn in profits. The hosts delve into the specifics of the tax, who it will impact the most, and the potential loopholes that large institutions might exploit to avoid this tax. They emphasize how the tax could lead to reduced rental stock and increased rents, ultimately hurting tenants. The episode also touches upon the broader implications of such tax policies on the housing market and the economy. The Leeds urge viewers to spread awareness and advocate against the tax before the autumn budget announcement.
