How it works: Under Section 24, you can no longer deduct mortgage interest from your profit. Instead, you receive a basic rate (20%) tax credit. If you are a Higher Rate payer (40%), this means you pay significantly more tax on the same income.

What is Section 24?

Section 24 (of the Finance Act 2015) changed the way landlords are taxed in the UK. Previously, you could deduct mortgage interest from your rental income before paying tax. Now, you pay tax on the full rental income and receive a basic rate (20%) tax credit instead.

Who is affected?

This change primarily affects Higher Rate (40%) and Additional Rate (45%) taxpayers who own property in their personal name. Limited companies (SPVs) are exempt from Section 24.
