The Finance Bill 2026-27 carries the proposed property income tax rates of 24% (basic), 44% (higher) and 49% (additional). It was introduced in the House of Commons on 3 November 2026 and is listed for Second Reading on Monday 23 November 2026 (UK Parliament Bills page, read 14 November 2026). That date is provisional: the page says “Future dates (especially those more than a week in advance) may be provisional.” The rates are not law, and would apply from 6 April 2027 (HMRC policy paper, 29 October 2026). HMRC says the measure affects “individuals and partnerships who receive income from letting property” in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is not a London-specific rule.
