Multiple dwellings relief (MDR) has been proven not to work, with HMRC saying there’s no evidence it has incentivised residential property investment or significantly improved rental housing supply. It has, however, given tax breaks on high valued properties to those who can afford to pay a bit extra. Therefore, it’s a progressive move to abolish this tax that only affects a few people.
