Or do they now have a higher disposable income that
may get wiped out by the rent increser as their landlord
doesn't want to rent out at a loss ...

The landlord can only charge what the
market will bare. Or he gets out of
renting.

If the tennants are currently willing to pay,
for example, £400/month in
rent and £83/month (averaged over 12 months)
in council tax why would they be unwilling to pay
£483/month in rent and £0/month in council tax
for the same property?

What is your point? The tenant only cares about the bottom line.

Hang, is that wrenching sound the goalposts being moved? I thought
you'd
been saying that *none* of the LVT would get passed on?

The amount will be small. Not the full whack.

So it was the goalposts being moved from their previous "LVT can't be
passed on" to the new position of "some of the LVT will be passed on, but
most of it won't"? With the same lack of supporting evidence I note ...

What you were saying was that in transition all the LVT would be passed on,
which is nonsense, as he is charging the maximum right now, so cannot charge
more. If the landlord's tax is higher he bares the cost. Many will get out
and sell to owner/occupiers. Which is what we want, then the parasite can
put his money where it is productive.
