Original consultation

Consultation description

Local housing authorities are required to pay HM Treasury a share of the receipts arising from the sales of their homes made under Right to Buy. The formula for calculating this expires on 31 March this year.

This technical consultation proposes that receipts paid to HM Treasury for a further 4 years are calculated essentially on the same principles as previous years.
