Rent a room scheme vs capital appreciation on a PPR

[NoRegretsCoyote]

As ever, be wary of the tax tail wagging the investment dog...

It's an interesting question.

I've watched tax policy evolve for the last 15 years or so. As a result I have a subjective range in my head of where the various rates and bases will lie in another 15 years from now.

These subjective ranges for tax are a lot narrower than where I think the S&P500 or Irish house prices will be.

I don't really understand what that means.
And it wasn't a question.

I don't really understand what that means.

I mean I am much more confident predicting the CGT rate on my PPR in 20 years than the value of my PPR in 20 years.
