YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Treasury is reportedly considering a tax on landlords that will target income from rents in the autumn budget.

The proposals are centred on the expansion of national insurance to include rental income, which is currently exempt from the levy, as part of a broader push to plug a potential £40bn shortfall in the public finances.

LBC's Ben Kentish speaks with Joe Beswick, Spokesperson at the London Renters’ Union, about whether the plan would make the tax system fairer or simply push up rents for tenants.
