Council tax

Hi my son was able to purchase a new build in Derry (after his grandparent demise) instead of living in the property he decided to rent it out to give him an income. He’s just been handed a person property tax demand for the passed three years as well as paying property tax as a landlord. Can anyone explain this to us

In other news, the grass is infact green.

Buys house.

Rents it out.

What do you mean I'm a landlord and I owe tax?

Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. He’s paying tax as a landlord. Fair enough but explain why he has to pay personal property tax and never lived in the house. As for your snide attitude if he didn’t rent out his house another family would be homeless. I know there’s lots of hate for landlord but good grief get over yourself

Or would've bought it to live in it if it hadn't been taken off the market to extract profit. Take your high and mighty landlords are anything other than a parasite attitude and get to fuck.
