Question
Will there be a economic impact assessment and formal review of the 182-day threshold on holiday lets?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Welsh Language
The Explanatory Memorandum and Regulatory Impact Assessment, which is published alongside the legislation, demonstrates the Welsh Government’s consideration of the potential impacts of the changes to the classification of self-catering properties for local tax purposes.
There are no plans to undertake a formal review in the short-term, nor in isolation from the broader package of measures within our three-pronged approach to tackling the impact of second homes and holiday lets on communities and the Welsh language.
