It is also VERY likely CGT will rise as it's too big a loophole. Why pay 50% income tax when you can pay just 18% if its a capital gain not an income. This will fk house prices in the bottom. If you bought a £100k house and it goes to £300k you have made £200k. However, imagine if you had to give £100,000 of that to mr taxman. that means you only get £200k for your £300k house. This will not be good for people who have remortgaged to buy more properties. Your main home is currently CGT free though, you get an annual allowance and I think they will just increase CGT to say 30% but cut the annual allowance. This will be a fairly big hitting measure.
But this only affects BTL/multiple house owning types; and if CGT does get hiked, people will hang on for grim death unless foreclosure makes it happen for them(or attempt to circumvent by making the sale house their 'dwelling'and hope HMRC don't come looking). All it means is more of the same, supply squeeze and artificially high prices.
