It has been stated that this relief will be phased out by 2017 by reducing the annual credit for each of the years 2012 to 2017 inclusive. However if you were not renting prior to the 8th December 2010 or were not entitled to make a claim for rent relief for 2010 then you cannot claim rental tax relief for 2011 or any future years.
