Frequently Asked Questions

Should I buy buy-to-let properties personally or through a Limited Company?

Limited companies can deduct mortgage interest in full as a business expense and pay Corporation Tax (19%-25%) on profits, making them highly tax-efficient for higher-rate taxpayers. Personal ownership is subject to Section 24 interest restrictions but has lower admin costs.
