This will ensure that landlords with the largest incomes no longer receive the most generous tax treatment. To give landlords time to adjust the Government will introduce this change over 4 years starting from April 2017.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The actual number of taxpayers affected will depend on behavioural changes and other economic factors.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 22/09/2015 13:19:23 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
