The January 2019 tax self-assessment deadline was the first time that landlords reported under new mortgage interest rate tax rules. We asked a panel of 200 experienced landlords to quantify the impact.

Mortgage interest tax relief for buy-to-let landlords is being phased out over a four-year period and replaced with a basic rate tax credit. In the 2017-18 tax year, landlords could deduct 75% of mortgage interest costs from rent. This was reduced to 50% in 2018-19. It will fall to 25% in 2019-20 and then to zero.
