Holiday Accommodation: Taxation

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what discussions she has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on access for HM Revenue and Customs to the proposed registration scheme for short-term lets in England.

Answer

Following last year's Call for Evidence, in December 2022 the Government introduced a registration scheme for short-term lets in England in the Levelling Up and Regeneration Bill. On 12 April 2023, a consultation was published which sought views on details about how the scheme will operate. The consultation closed on 7 June 2023 and the Government is working to analyse responses.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport will work with the relevant Government departments, including HMRC and HM Treasury, on the design of the registration scheme and to ensure that different measures which apply to short-term lets are proportionate, complementary and easy to understand.
