The Inter-departmental group, chaired by Dr Don Thornhill, to consider the design of a property tax (the “Thornhill Group”) recommended that the Local Property Tax paid in respect of a rented property should be deductible for income tax or corporation tax purposes, in a similar manner to commercial rates. The Government accepted the recommendation of the Thornhill Group in principle, but has not considered the manner or the timing in which this will happen.
