Furnished Holiday Letting & Let relief for CGT

Postby simpsonite » Thu Jan 05, 2017 12:09 pm

Hi all,
My client lived in his main residence for six years , he then moved out and converted the property into a Furnished Holiday Let. It was been let out as such ever since prior to sale in 15/16.
In addition to PPR relief. would my client also be entitled to let relief?

Let relief would normally follow on In addition to PPR relief where the property was let for 'residential use'. Does the fact that the property is now being let as a FHL have any bearing on the availability of Let relief for CGT purposes in this instance?

Thoughts much appreciated,

Simpsonite

With a pinch of salt take what I say, but don't exceed your RDA

The relief under s223(4) is for letting residential accommodation. I see no reason why why short term lets cannot be residential accommodation.

Thanks for that bd6759.

Owen V Elliot (1990) completely slipped my mind ;)

A FHL is going to be residential as would a guest house for short term letting purposes.
