Small Business Rates

Your holiday let, will be deemed as a commercial property opposed to a domestic home. So will be required to be registered for Small Business Rates .

We would suggest this strengthens the asset class of your holiday let investment, especially if tighter controls are brought in to regulate the number of holiday lets permitted in an area at some future date.


Small Business Rates are currently heavily subsidised by local government, so in some cases could represent a saving to holiday let owners.
