Treasury written question – answered am ar 23 Ebrill 2024.
Lord Moylan
Chair, Built Environment Committee, Chair, Built Environment Committee
To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they had with the "build to rent" sector to understand the impact of the proposed abolition of the Stamp Duty Land Tax Multiple Dwellings Relief announced in the Spring Budget, beyond the consultation from November 2021 to February 2022.
Baroness Vere of Norbiton
The Parliamentary Secretary, HM Treasury
The abolition of Multiple Dwellings Relief follows an external evaluation which found no strong evidence the relief is meeting its original objectives of supporting investment in the private rented sector.
Larger investors who purchase 6 or more properties in a single transaction can still continue to benefit from the non-residential rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax.
The government will continue to engage with stakeholders in the build to rent sector to understand any concerns.
