UK budget makes buy-to-let investment less attractive, UBP says
Bitget2026/10/29 17:04- The UK Autumn Budget 2026 favors high-growth company founders while increasing tax pressure on landlords and cash savers.
- Founders' Relief introduces a 10% capital gains tax rate on lifetime gains up to £10 million from April 6, 2027.
- Business Asset Disposal Relief's eligible gains limit falls from £1 million to £500,000, with a reduced tax rate of 18%.
- Rental income attracts a 4% surcharge, taking taxation to 49% for highest-rate landlords and weakening buy-to-let investment appeal.
- Savings interest faces an additional 2% tax, taking the highest rate to 49% outside ISAs and potentially pushing returns below inflation.
