As you can read in the article above, it is a landlord responsibility to pay rental tax, not a tenant. Unfortunately, I did not see any news regarding rental income reduction.

In the event of non receipt of rent a letter should be taken to the tax office every month giving all the agreement details & reason for non payment. Suggest you take 2 copies, get them to sign & stamp one so you can keep a record.
