Formatted abstract This paper looks at investment in rental property. It builds a model on the net present value basis and looks at the rents needed for a return comparable to the general investment market. It uses a taxed-form of the tax-adjusted Fisher equation (Darby, 1975) as a way of relating the social discount of a tax-exempt landlord to a taxpaying one.

Three situations are considered: the tax-free one, the one under the tax rules that applied before 18 July 1985, and the one under the mooted tax laws applying from 20 September 1985. They are compared to find both the changes caused by tax amendments and the distorting effect of tax itself on rental decisions.
