quote: Yeah you pay tax on the money that comes in which you use to pay off capital on the mortgage, the interest doesnt matter. I will be looking into doing this soon enough, but i need to do more reading on it. Also, an interest only mortgage? Surely it's better to get a repayment mortgage and just pay the tax on the capital that is paid off for you. Come the end of the mortgage you'll have the house as well then.

You can only offset the mortgage interest, not the actual repayments. | |

quote: Did you take into account the fact the mortgage repayments are a cost though and if you ran it like a business it could be offset against the money you make from rental income to avoid some tax? The other thing to factor is that, even if on the short term you're making a loss / breaking even - if you're repaying equity back into the property through the rental income, then it may not be as bad as it could seem.

I didn't think it mattered whether or not you made a profit. I just thought you pay income tax on all of the rental income. So say you are current paying 40% tax on your earnings, you would also have to pay 40% tax on the new rental income. | |

The current one is on buy to let. The tax isn't an issue as far as I am aware as there is no profit being made because in actually making a loss at the moment paying the short fall. However I will get capital gains tax if I sell it at a profit when I do sell it as I haven't lived in it for 6 months prior to selling it | |

Have you considered the income tax on the rent. | |

Is your current rented out property on a buy-to-let mortgage? | |
