In this case it is used exactly for its intended purpose, which is to encourage furnished holiday lets.

AirBnb does not directly benefit from this. The property owners do.

The issue is that the number of holiday lets has exploded thanks to AirBnb so now they no longer want to encourage them, or at least the purely AirBnb type.

It is another tax but without the tax label. Now we call it "Closing a loophole for the greedy Tech companies".
