Net tax zero
Scotsman: Recession leaves £25bn shortfall in welfare bill
If you buy a BTL and assign to a social housing recipient in receipt of LHA, the taxation on your wage is offset by receiving the government stipend for housing. For somebody on 30K a month, tax rate of about 1K, but offset by LHA of about £750.
By not allowing rents to fall with unemployment, the government are reducing their tax base along a property divide.
For all the recent talk of benefits scroungers, we should remember they personally get £240/month, this is not what is running up the outrageous debts of government.
