All holiday lets are assessed by the Valuation Office Agency for council tax or business rates purposes. The government has legislated so that, from April 2023, holiday lets will only be assessed for business rates if they were actually rented out for short periods totalling at least 70 days in the previous year.

In relation to other Ministers of the Crown, I would add that Section 41 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010 provides that all MPs and sitting peers are automatically deemed to be resident and domiciled in the UK for tax purposes.

The Government announced on 14 January 2022 that it is closing a tax loophole which allowed owners of second homes to claim that their often-empty properties were holiday lets, so that they received Small Business Rates Relief instead of paying Council Tax.
The new, fairer rules mean that from April 2023 second homeowners will have to prove holiday lets are being rented out for a minimum of 70 days a year and are available to let for a minimum of 140 days a year to access Small Business Rates Relief.
All tax policy remains under review, however, it would not be appropriate to comment on the likelihood of future tax changes outside of fiscal events.

Eligibility for entry and stay under the Tier 1 (Investor) route has not been dependent on any specific legally available tax statuses.The Home Office does not therefore routinely hold data concerning the tax status of applicants. The use of available tax provisions and by whom is ultimately a matter for the tax authorities.

These must be the Oxford Union debating skills we have been hearing so much about: failing to answer the question, rambling incoherently, throwing in garbled metaphors. Powerful stuff, Prime Minister. Here is the problem: it is not just his words that are complacent; it is his actions as well. The cost of living crisis was blindingly obvious months ago, but he said that worries about inflation were unfounded and he backed a tax-hiking Budget. Does he think that his choice to be the only leader in the G7 to raise taxes during a cost of living crisis has made things better or worse for working people?

As I have just explained to the House, and will repeat once more, this Government and our Chancellor cut taxes on working people. The national insurance contribution went down by an average of £330. If the right hon. and learned Gentleman is talking about the health and care levy—maybe that is what he is droning on about—that is what is enabling us to pay for
50,000 more nurses and to pay for clearing the covid backlog. How tragic, how pitiful that the party of Bevan should now be opposed to that investment in the NHS.

The Prime Minister is an ostrich, perfectly happy keeping his head in the sand. Working people are worried about paying their bills. They are spending less and cutting back. That is bad for business and bad for growth. Working people are looking for help, but this week millions will look at their payslip and see a tax rise with his fingerprints all over it. Does he think that his 15th tax rise has made things better or worse for working people?

What we are doing for working people is not only lifting the living wage by a record amount and helping people on universal credit with a £1,000 tax cut, but cutting national insurance contributions and lifting the threshold so that, on average, people pay £330 less. What we are also doing is taking our country and our economy forward, investing in our NHS, which is a priority for the people of this country—unlike for the Labour party—and ensuring that we have record creation of jobs. That is what matters: high-wage, high-skill jobs. Half a million more—[Interruption.] Labour Members do not care about jobs; we do. We believe in high-wage, high-skill jobs and that is the answer for the economy.
