Capital Gains Tax on BUY TO LET PROPERTIES
Dear HM Revenue and Customs,
Please answer the following questions about Capital Gains Tax payable on profits from Buy To Let properties under the Freedom of Information Act:-
1. What actions are being taken to prevent the owners of buy to let properties from avoiding the payment of Capital Gains tax on their profits?
2. Is it legal for a buy to let owner of a residential property to set up a company with the intention or purpose of avoiding taxes on buy to let residential properties?
3. Would the failure to pay Capital Gains Tax on buy to let properties count as tax avoidance or tax evasion?
4. If the buy to let owner of a British property lived abroad, would they be liable to pay the tax on their property once they sold their flat?
Yours faithfully,
ROB HEALE
