DEAN WOOTTEN goes back to basic principles with lettings relief.
WHERE THE CONDITIONS of TCGA 1992, s 222 'Relief on disposal of private residence' are met, the gain on the sale of a property may be reduced in whole or part by only or main residence relief. After applying this relief, any remaining gain may be reduced by a letting exemption under s 223(4) . This article will consider the, often valuable, letting exemption and offer opinion on a favourable interpretation of the exemption. Statutory references are to the TCGA 1992, unless otherwise specified.
