  • James Lindley, director of Castell Wealth Management, commented that one of the major advantages of furnished holiday lets (FHL) compared to a standard buy-to-let property is that owners will often avoid many of the punitive measures imposed by the government. He said: “Because they are classed as a business rather than investment, owners are still entitled to many of the tax advantages buy-to-let landlords no longer qualify for. Holiday lets are subject to business rates rather than council tax. There’s also the possibility of claiming 100% relief on business rates if the property has a rateable value of less than £12,000. At present, 96% of homes qualify for this.

    “Currently, holiday lets are considered to be ‘business properties’, and therefore, for the purpose of Inheritance Tax, they are exempt. It should be noted however that HMRC are currently challenging this point, so there may be an alteration to this in future. Owners will be able to offset some of the equipment and furnishing costs against the rental income and can also deduct expenses such as council tax, utilities, maintenance, cleaning, property management costs and advertising.
