Section 24 of the Finance Act 2015 fundamentally changed how individual landlords can claim tax relief on mortgage interest.
The restriction: Previously, landlords could deduct 100% of their mortgage interest from rental income before paying tax. Now, you cannot deduct mortgage interest from rental income at all. Instead, you receive a 20% tax credit on your interest costs.
The impact: This often pushes “basic rate” taxpayers into the “higher rate” (40%) bracket because their taxable income appears much higher, even if their actual profit remains the same.
The SPV solution: Because Section 24 applies to individuals, many investors now use Special Purpose Vehicles (limited companies). Companies can still deduct 100% of mortgage interest as a business expense before paying Corporation Tax.
The NRL Scheme applies if you live outside the UK for more than six months of the year but receive rental income from UK property.
The withholding rule: By default, your letting agent (or the tenant, if they pay over £100 a week) must deduct 20% tax from your rent and pay it to HMRC on your behalf.
The NRL1 application: To receive your rent gross (without tax deducted), you must apply to HMRC using form NRL1. If approved, HMRC will tell your agent not to deduct tax, but you must still declare the income on a UK Self Assessment tax return.
Compliance: Failing to manage this properly can result in the letting agent being held liable for unpaid tax, which often leads to friction in portfolio management.
ATED is a tax designed to discourage “enveloping”—holding high-value residential property within a company rather than owning it personally.
The threshold: You must file an ATED return if your company owns a UK residential property valued at more than £500,000.
The charges: The tax is a flat annual fee that increases with the property’s value. For example, a property worth £500k–£1m currently carries a charge of roughly £4,400 per year (rates are adjusted annually).
The reliefs: Most professional property investment companies can claim relief from ATED if the property is let to a third party on a commercial basis.
Critical: Even if your tax bill is £0 due to relief, you must still file an ATED return every year between 1 April and 30 April. Missing this deadline triggers automatic penalties.
