    AFAIK business rates are only payable on premises used for business, so renting our residential property should not attract business rates, but if it's commercial property rented out then yes, you (or more like your tenant) will be paying business rates.

    Is this the same property you were going to buy as a joint venture with your family member?

    Don't worry, they will get a tax payer bailout when it goes tits up, so it's win-win.

    You shouldn't be taken in by (deliberately) badly presented statistics.

    Radio 4 more or less on those self same statistics (and more)

    Where does the money come from to do that?

    Bottom line is some lose for others to gain. Capitalism has gone so foxtrot oscar that a few billionaires laud it over everyone else. If you don't fight against the inequality; who will?







    In answer to to your question. I don't know. It's hard not to be seduced by a juicy carrot.

    Buddha said that you can do great things with lots of wealth. So ultimately perhaps that's what counts?
