Mortgage interest
Interest on a property loan — restricted basic-rate-only tax credit for residential landlords.
For UK residential landlords, mortgage interest no longer fully reduces taxable rental profit. Instead, you get a 20% basic-rate tax credit on the interest (Section 24 restriction, fully phased in from 2020/21).
