Buy To Let Tax Relief

If you have been an investment property owner for a number of years by now, you may have an idea of what the buy to let tax relief entails. However, it is important to know that this is a particular area of buy to let tax accounting that is prone to changes. Essentially, this relief looks much different in this year than it has in previous years. 2021 is the first year in full where you are unable to deduct mortgage expenses from rental income. Instead, landlords are afforded a 20 percent tax credit on interest payments. All in all, the buy to let tax relief looks vastly different as the old way has been phased out completely by this year.

Interestingly enough, to help mitigate the new rules, many investment property owners have taken the route of setting up limited companies when buying rental properties. This is because you will be subject to Corporation tax, as opposed to the higher individual income tax rates.

Stamp Duty on Buy to Let Property

Many new, and even existing investment property owners struggle with the Stamp Duty tax and with knowing how much they are meant to pay. Another thing that can be confusing is the submission of the return. In some cases, you are still bound to submit a return, even if you are not due to pay any stamp duty tax. At Spartan Accounting Group, we will walk you through the requirements, help you work out the stamp duty tax owed and help you with your return submissions. This is to ensure that you are not caught off guard or even worse, fined for late or non-submissions.
