The Government has announced that it will abolish the Furnished Holiday Lettings (FHL) tax regime, equalising the tax treatment of landlords with short-term holiday lets and those with standard residential properties. This will make the taxation of property fairer and simpler while raising revenue for public services. The changes will not penalise or prohibit the provision of FHLs more widely.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government keeps all aspects of tax policy under review and any decisions on future changes will be taken by the Chancellor in the context of the wider public finances.<\/p>

By abolishing the Furnished Holiday Lettings tax regime, the government will remove the current incentive for landlords to offer short\u2011term holiday lets rather than longer-term homes. This will level the playing field between short-term holiday lets and long-term lets and support people to live in their local area.<\/p>

The Government has a wide programme of work aimed at tackling gender inequality and supporting women in the workplace.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since 2017, organisations with 250 or more employees have been required to publish specific data on their gender pay gaps annually, ensuring they are aware of their gender pay gaps and are taking steps to improve gender equality in their organisation.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has taken action to ensure that working parents can balance work and care by expanding childcare entitlements, making flexible working simpler to access, and introducing carer's leave.<\/p>

Regarding the financial services industry specifically, the Government has taken action to ensure the sector remains world-class, and as productive, innovative and competitive as it can be. In 2016, the Government launched the Women in Finance Charter, which aims to ensure that the right talent is being attracted to the sector and that the best and brightest can continue to rise to the top, regardless of their gender.<\/p>

The Charter\u2019s Annual Reviews have consistently shown that the Charter has stimulated positive progress across the sector. Participation in the Charter is voluntary, and the first wave of signatories to the Charter started out with an average level of senior female representation of 27%. The signatory base has grown since then and average representation now stands at 35%.<\/p>

The Treasury Committee\u2019s Sexism in the City inquiry recently made a number of recommendations to the industry, the regulators and Government to consider in order to accelerate progress. The Government will respond to the report and its recommendations in due course.<\/p>
