Buy to Let and Commercial property

OPP.Today Budget 2016 buy-to-let-commercial property

 

Excerpt from the article:

'International property professionals have welcomed the lowering of Capital Gains Tax in today’s UK budget – even though it has a sting in the tail for landlords.

Chancellor George Osborne, says the higher rate of Capital Gains Tax (CGT), which applies to capital gains on most assets, will fall to 20%, from 28% now, with the basic rate reduced from 18% t0 10%.

However, the measure is unlikely to help landlords as capital gains on residential property and carried interest will be subject to an 8% surcharge, essentially leaving them at the original rate. Capital Gains Tax applies to all residential properties except the main home.....

Louise Reynolds, Director of the Property Venture agency says,‘Whilst Buy-to-Let has been on the ‘Naughty Step’, commercial property seems to be ‘Teacher’s Pet’. Previous controversial announcements of drastic buy-to-let taxes remained untouched, whilst George Osborne announced a reduction in Stamp Duty at the lower price bracket for commercial property transactions. This could give a boost for Purpose-Built Student Accommodation investments (PBSA) which are a commercial investment and provide a serious alternative for investors moving away from buy-to-let.”.........

Louise Reynolds, adds,”The dual announcements of the Devolution of power to the Northern Powerhouses such as: Manchester, Liverpool and Leeds, with infrastructure improvements like the commissioning of the North-South HS2 and HS3 joining Manchester with Leeds, mean that the North of England is more accessible. As a side-effect, this should provide a fillip to the housing markets and spread capital growth more evenly across the country, rather than just the South-East.”
