Furnished Holiday Lets

Furnished holiday lets currently benefit from a special tax regime that provides many tax reliefs not enjoyed by other landlords.

Unfortunately, this special tax regime will be abolished in April 2025, as confirmed by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in her October Budget.

Fortunately, owners of furnished holiday lets (including many airbnbs) still have time to mitigate the impact.
