Remortgaging an existing buy to let mortgaged property

NJR999

Hello

I have a existing BTL property that I have just remortgaged to a different building society without increasing the loan. I would like to know as a landlord what costs I can claim back against tax from the list below.

New mortgage building society valuation survey fee
Mileage to meet surveyor for valuation survey
Telegraphic transfer fee to redeem existing loan
Title documents copy fee
Arrangement fee
Application fee
Transfer funds to Optima Legal fee
Landlord administration fee
Exit fee from previous mortgage company

Thanks in advance

You can't claim anything back against tax... however you may be able to use some/ all of those costs to reduce your taxable profits

see http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTaxAndBenefits/Taxes/TaxOnPropertyAndRentalIncome/DG_10014027 and the linked sections

the items you list are not mentioned but would seem to fall within finance costs

Loan interest and other financial costs

Include:
• the costs of obtaining a loan or an alternative finance arrangement to buy a
property that you let
• any interest on such a loan or alternative finance payments.

but I would check with IR or an accountant- unless of course you have left your return to the very last minute??
