Strongly agree

Yes, but reduce tax evasion by landlords

The SNP has shown a commitment to reducing tax evasion and ensuring that landlords pay their fair share of taxes. In 2016, they introduced the Additional Dwelling Supplement, which is a 4% tax on the purchase of additional residential properties, such as buy-to-let properties. This policy aims to reduce tax evasion and ensure that landlords contribute to funding public services.

The SNP may agree to some extent that buy-to-let mortgages can lead to inflated housing prices, as they have implemented policies like the LBTT and ADS to address housing inequality and affordability. However, they have not explicitly called for a ban on buy-to-let mortgages due to this reason.
