Income toll on renting home whilst on a mortgage holiday?
Hi,
I am looking at renting out my property for a year or two whilst things settle and renting a new property whilst living away.
I understand that you retribution tax (at 40% as already have a job) on any amount to be exact deemed profit once you have allowed for mortgage, agents, upkeep etc
What I am not sure of is that we are taking a mortgage "holiday" atm from our lenders. As such we are not making any mortgage payments although the interest still builds up. Do we still allow for the interests slice of the mortgage payments? Would it be more prudent to start paying the interest amount of the mortgage payment to our lendder again to avoid getting a hefty tax bill at the finish off of the year?
How do I calculate the interest portion of our monthly payments? I do know that about 70% of our once a year payments are interest and the rest actually pays thte mortgage - based on second mortgage statement.
Hope this makes at least SOME sense :O)
Thanks

It does gross sense.
The only way you'd hold the taxman happy is giving him accounts of income vs expenditure. If, as you say, in attendance is no expenditure on the mortgage interest, then he will sting you rather wickedly. Get your tenants paying the mortgage for you.
Furthermore, you have to inform the mortgage lender of what you are doing, as okay as sorting out different building & contents insurance.
Complete nightmare. Hardly any profit in it. Never again (for me). But I hope it works out for you.

Talking tosh how? Do you know what a mortgage holiday is? And did I mention anything other than the interest? Have you ever be a landlord?
"You can therefore well work out what the interest payments have been..." HE HASN'T MADE ANY! MORTGAGE HOLIDAY. UNDERSTAND? Moron. You unmistakably really are an accountant.

When I said "get your tenants paying your mortgage" I truly meant take their rent to remuneration the mortgage with. I didn't mean it literally, ffs...
If you want to offset Interest Charges against Rental Income, plainly you own to PAY the Interest (owing it is not the same as paying it) ..
For this reason, most population in the Buy-to-Let market own Interest Only Mortgages... so, yes, it is plainly more prudant to use part of the Rental Income to pay bad the Interest.
PS DO NOT 'get your Tenants to pay your Mortgage' .. if you do THEY will end up owning the house :-)
You are wrong to suggest that mortgage payments are an allowable speculation against rental income.
This is only the case if you own an interest only mortgage.
If you have a capital/interest mortgage, which from your put somebody through the mill you clearly do, then the only allowable speculation which you can make against your rental income is the interest on the mortgage.
You will still be receiving mortgage statements from your mortgage provider during your mortgage holiday and this will detail the interest which have been accruing during this spell. You can therefore easily work out what the interest payments own been during the fiscal year in which you enjoy been renting out the property.
