GOVERNMENT’S GREEN DEAL SHOULD INCLUDE TAX BREAKS FOR LANDLORDS, SAYS SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTANCY DPP
|
The government should consider tax breaks for hundreds of thousands of private landlords to encourage them to adopt energy saving measures offered by the government under the Energy Security and Green Economy Bill, says sustainability and planning consultancy DPP. The Energy Security and Green Economy Bill, known as the Green Deal, will come before parliament next month and will offer homeowners and landlords’ loans of up to £6,500 to install energy saving measures. The loan would be linked to a property’s energy meter, with repayments made based upon the savings achieved. And whilst it is anticipated that many home owners will take advantage of the Green Deal, there is likely to be little enthusiasm from private sector landlords, who whilst having to pay for such measures believe that they will not directly benefit.
