Less Tax for Landlords’ tax guru expelled from the ICAEW

Most of LT4L’s key staff were salesmen who, by their own admission, know nothing about tax. They relied on LT4L’s co-founder Chris Bailey. Bailey was previously severely […]

Less Tax for Landlords – what happens when tax avoiders are caught?

Less Tax for Landlords and The Bailey Group sold a landlord tax avoidance scheme involving an LLP “hybrid partnership”.

Property118 and Less Tax for Landlords

Nov 28, 2023 Investigations

HMRC is likely investigating the two big landlord tax avoidance firms. What should their clients do?

We recently wrote about two landlord tax avoidance outfits: Less Tax for Landlords and Property118. They together advised thousands of landlords, and avoided £100m+ of tax; we believe both firms, and their clients, are now the subject of HMRC investigations.

Less Tax for Landlords: the £50m landlord tax avoidance scheme that HMRC say doesn’t work, and can trigger a mortgage default.
