Reducing tax liability Buy to Let

I have an interest only mortgage on my btl. With interest rates being so low at the moment I am making a hefty profit each month, this means next year my tax bill will be higher. If I overpaid to reduce the capital would this also reduce my tax liability? Any help greatly appreciated.

    Rejoice that you are making more money from your BTL.

    And, no making overpayments will reduce the capital owed but it isn't tax deductable.

    Reducing the capital will also reduce the interest payable each year!
