How will potential changes to Stamp Duty Land Tax and Capital Gains Tax, possibly post-2024 election, impact investor profitability and portfolio planning for UK buy-to-let properties acquired in 2026 or 2027?
Quick Answer
Post-2024 election, investors acquiring buy-to-let properties in 2026-2027 face potential increases to Stamp Duty Land Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Higher SDLT at purchase would raise initial costs, while increased CGT or reduced allowances on sale would lower net profits, necessitating proactive portfolio planning.
