Landlords: Taxation

Asked by Ben GoldsboroughLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 15 June 2026UIN 7265

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the cost to her Department was of allowing incorporated landlords to deduct mortgage interest from rental properties when calculating taxable profits in the last year.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

Estimates of the cost of allowing incorporated landlords to deduct mortgage interest from rental properties are not readily available since landlords subject to Corporation tax are not required to report separately their residential finance costs.
