WARNING - New Section 24 Tax Rules

Recommended Posts

WARNING....for all of you who are not aware.

The new Section 24 Tax rules come into force on April 6th.

Here is an example of how it will affect you:

Currently if you have £1000 of rental income and £1000 of mortgage interest then your profit is zero with no tax to pay.

After April if you have £1000 of rental income you cannot offset the mortgage interest payments so your profit is £1000. You have a 20% allowance to offset against profit resulting in a profit of £800.....subject to 20% tax (or 40% if you are a higher rate tax payer). Tax bill will be £160 (or £320).

Substitute your own income & mortgage interest payments to find out how much MORE tax you will be paying.
