Baroness Scott of Needham Market – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Scott of Needham Market on 2014-05-07.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they plan to increase the tax-free allowance given to individuals who rent out a room in their property.

Lord Deighton

As with all aspects of the tax system, the Government keeps all tax reliefs under review, and any decisions on changes will be taken as part of the annual Budget process in the context of the wider public finances.
