    Table of Contents

    Introduction

    Dividends and Other Tax Perks for Landlords Who Incorporate

    Introduction

    In June 2015 George Osborne (then Chancellor of the Exchequer) announced a bizarre change to the way that Finance Costs would be treated for tax for UK private landlords in his Summer Budget.

    Much to the amazement of the accountancy bodies, economic analysts and the Private Rented Sector generally, these changes were included in the Finance (No.2) Act 2015 which received Royal Assent and became legislation that year.

    The change only applies to private landlords, it does not apply to companies.

    Over a phased period of four years, commencing April 2017, private landlords will no longer be able to offset their finance costs against income as an expense. Instead, they will receive a tax credit equal to the basic rate of tax on disallowed finance costs. This is the only business in the UK which is treated in this way.

    The phasing described above will be as follows:

    Tax Year                      % of finance costs disallowed 

    2017/18                       25%

    2018/19                       50%

    2019/20                       75%

    2020/21                       100%

    ConsequencesBy 2020/21 the extra tax may equal 20%, 25% or even 40% of the finance costs.

    Tax payable may exceed 100% of the real rental profit.

    The higher that interest rates rise, the more likely it is that tax will exceed the declining real profit.

    If your real income exceeds £45,000 you will pay extra tax equal to 20% of the finance costs.

    If the sum of your real income plus finance costs lies between £100,001 and £123,000, you will also pay a further 20% on every pound in that range.  This can result in extra tax equal to 40% of the finance costs.

    If your taxable income exceeds £150,000 you will pay extra tax equal to 25% of the finance costs.
