A new report from the TaxPayers' Alliance calls on the
government to undertake real reform to tackle the housing shortage in the UK.
Successive governments have avoided meaningful reform, instead focusing on
tinkering around the edges which has only served to worsen the situation and drive
up prices. Recent tax changes will also drive up rents. The recently
implemented 3 per cent Stamp Duty additional homes surcharge and new
restrictions on finance cost relief will also advantage richer prospective
buyers at the expense of poorer tenants. Further, the TPA renews its call for
the abolition of Stamp Duty, an unfair tax which stops people from buying their
own home. Read more on the TPA website.
