Show Notes

From council tax and stamp duty to business rates and taxes on landlords, the UK’s system for taxing property is complicated, inconsistent, and long overdue for reform.


Homes aren’t just places to live - they’re also assets and a major form of saving - which makes deciding how to tax them especially tricky.


In this episode, Helen is joined by Stuart Adam and Ben Zaranko to explore how property is currently taxed, what’s gone wrong, and how it could be made fairer and more efficient.
