As a landlord (I own two properties) and as someone who also works full time I agree with him.
It may take up some time but ultimately it's an investment.
Landlords like myself aren't (typically) struggling, so we should pay more tax, especially now as the country needs it. I am proud to say I don't tax dodge and pay what I owe. But unfortunately there are many loopholes that can be exploited to avoid paying tax. Just a few weeks ago someone was telling me how I should put my properties under a LTD company to avoid paying tax (I didn't and won't). I hope the Labour government does more to close these loopholes for tax dodgers.
Thank you.
