Hello Gary
The rental profit is zero because there is no rental income, hence there is no tax to pay on that.
Where you have gone wrong is by adding the mortgage interest to the income.
I don’t know Simon but I do know that he is right.
If your accountant tells you different then you’d be better off with Simon.
I agree this landlord would be better off under todays taxation structure because he could roll over the entire £10,000 loss.

“Appalled Landlord”
Please give me detailed workings of this scenario in Numerics:
I earn £37000 per annum from my employment (employed)
Total Rental: £96000.
Repairs maintenance £11,500.
Interest £51000.
Please give me full breakdown as if you are an accountant under new rule…step by step to see, where discrepancy actually lies.

Simon,
Could you also give me breakdown so I can understand.
Appalled Landlord, it was refreshing to hear that you agree that end result is same.

Current position
Rental income: £96,000
Less allowable expenses
Repairs & maintenance £11,500.
Interest £51000
Taxable profit = £33,500
2020 position
Rental income: £96,000
Less allowable expenses
Repairs & maintenance £11,500.
Taxable profit = £84,500
In 2020 you will be allowed to reduce your tax bill by 20% of your interest costs, as of today the interest you are paying is offset against your income as an expense.
In both scenario’s your additional salary will be added to your taxable rental profits in order to calculate the total amount of tax you have to pay.
