The furnished holiday lettings (FHL) tax regime will be abolished next month and to help UK owners prepare for this major change, we've invited Matt Jeffery from Zeal Tax back on the podcast.

Matt explains the changes in detail and outlines the fact that every holiday let owner in the UK needs to claim their capital allowances. This is tax relief that a whopping 80% of owners have failed to claim – primarily because general accountants are not equipped to assess it.
