Changes to furnished holiday lets

The special tax regime for furnished holiday lets is being removed so, in future, they will be treated as any property income: 

  • Mortgage relief will be capped at 20% 
  • Capital allowances will no longer be available for purchase of new furniture and fixtures. Only replacement relief 
  • Business Asset Disposal Relief will no longer be available and no rollover relief for reinvested capital gains 
  • Profits will no longer count as relevant earnings for pension tax relief 
  • Income must be 50:50 UNLESS a Form 17 has been submitted beforehand showing unequal ownership.
