iHowz have just submitted a paper to the Treasury in respect of the next Spring Budget.

The whole paper can seen here here, and calls for:

1. Rescind Section 24 of the 2015 Finance Act
2. Allow Registered Landlords to reclaim Supplemental 3% SDLT on rental properties.
3. Remove the requirement to pay Supplemental 3% SDLT on lease extensions
4. Index the Supplemental 3% SDLT threshold or link it to the standard SDLT threshold
5. Extend period for filing CGT return to 6 months
6. Make residential letting property a qualifying asset for CGT roll-over relief
7. Remove CGT 8% surcharge, or some sort of retirement relief
8. Restore the LHA link to local rents, returning it to the 30% percentile
9. Energy Efficiency costs:
   • 100% write down of costs in year of spend.
   • Grants with a long-term scheme which recognises a realistic approach (fabric first + achievable measures)
10. Zero VAT rating should apply to Conversion, Refurbishment and Retrofit Works
11. Legislation to stop council tax re-banding of individual rooms.
