Frequently Asked Questions (2026/27 & 2027/28 UK Rules)

How does the April 2027 property income tax rise interact with Section 24?

In 2027/28, property rental profits are taxed at 22%, 42%, or 47%, but the Section 24 mortgage interest tax credit remains restricted to 20%. A Higher-rate landlord therefore pays 42% tax on grossed-up rent while receiving only a 20% credit on mortgage interest.
