It was
announced in the Budget that the government will restrict the amount of income
tax relief landlords can claim on residential property mortgage interest costs
to the basic rate of income tax.
This means
that landlords will no longer be able to deduct all of their finance costs from
their property income. They will instead be restricted to the basic rate. To
give landlords time to adjust, the government will introduce this change
gradually from April 2017, over four years.
This
restriction will not apply to landlords of furnished holiday lettings and will
not impact on basic rate tax paying landlords.
From April
2016 the government will replace the Wear and Tear Allowance with a new relief that allows all residential
landlords to deduct the actual costs of replacing furnishings.
