Petition

http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/landlordspaytax/

This petition is now closed. In total 319 signatures agreed with the petition statement:

We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Remove all tax incentives and bonuses that property investors currently enjoy.

The phenomenal rise in popularity of Buy-to-Let investment and other types of residential investment is a significant contributor to house price inflation. There is now an obscene divide between people who own property as investment and those priced out of home owner-occupation and the security that brings them and their families. Tax breaks on property investment only add to this economic disparity and must be removed as a minimum step towards levelling the playing field.

Read the response to this petition, issued by the Prime Minister's office here.

A similar petition here runs until July 2008.
