class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>        <p>Most people take out an interest-only mortgage. This means that they pay the interest on the loan &#8211; usually, from the rent they collect &#8211; and none of the capital.<\/p>        <p>The full amount of the mortgage is paid at the end of an agreed term (for example, after you sell the property).<\/p>        <p>Buy-to-let mortgages are more expensive than typical mortgages and require larger deposits of between 25% and 40%.<\/p>        <p>A mortgage lender will take several factors into account when working out how much you can borrow, including estimating how much rent you will be able to charge for the property.<\/p>        <p>The rent that you charge should be at least 25% higher than your monthly mortgage payments.<\/p>        <p>The lender will also want to ensure that you can afford the repayments, should the interest payment of your mortgage rise.<\/p>        <p>You need to be confident that your rental income will be enough to cover both your mortgage repayments and your expenses (such as landlord insurance and management fees). You must also keep in mind that there may be periods when the property is empty and you are not earning rental income.<\/p>        <p>Keep in mind that there is a tax relief on buy-to-let mortgages, that you can use to lower your income tax bill.<\/p>  <div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center\">  <div class=\"text-center\"><strong><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background\" style=\"background-color: #c33a32;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/property-tax-services\/ireland\/#request-callback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FILE YOUR NON-RESIDENT PROPERTY TAX RETURN ONLINE<\/a><\/strong><\/div>  <\/div>        <figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-image-461\" title=\"Claiming tax relief on buy to let mortgage for property investors\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Claiming tax relief on buy to let mortgage for property investors\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors-1400x933.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.ptireturns.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/buy-to-let-property-investors.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>        <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-buy-to-let-mortgage-interest-tax-relief\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_buy-to-let_mortgage_interest_tax_relief\"><\/span><strong>What is buy-to-let mortgage interest tax relief?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>        <p>Buy-to-let tax relief permits property owners to offset mortgage interest payments against their tax bill (in other words &#8211; to avail of buy-to-let mortgage tax relief).<\/p>        <p>Depending on the current regulations in your country, you should typically be able to deduct mortgage interest and other allowable costs from your rental income, before calculating your tax liability.<\/p>        <p>For example, if you have an Irish mortgage and you pay \u20ac5,000 interest for the year, you should be able to deduct this amount from your rental income.<\/p>        <p>If your rental income is \u20ac20,000, your taxable base will be lowered by \u20ac5,000, to \u20ac15,000.<\/p>        <p><strong>Meanwhile, if your property is located in the UK, you should know that the situation there changed in 2020.<\/strong><\/p>        <p>UK Homeowners in higher tax brackets pay a percentage of their total rental income in tax.
