Scellier tax reduction cut to 16% for 2012 investments
The 2012 Finance Act lowers the rate of the Scellier tax reduction for new buy-to-let investment made in 2012: 16% for homes meeting the BBC energy-performance level (22% in 2011), and 8% for non-BBC homes whose building permit was filed by end-2011 (13% previously). It introduces price ceilings per m² set by decree and cuts the intermediate overseas Scellier rate from 31% to 29%.
