What information do I need to provide?

Mortgage Details: Loan amount, interest rate, and term.
-
Ownership Structure: Indicate whether you are purchasing personally or through a limited company.
-
Additional Costs: Any other expenses associated with the property.
Why compare limited company vs. personal ownership?
Different ownership structures have varying tax implications:
-
Limited Company: May offer tax efficiencies, especially for higher-rate taxpayers, as profits are subject to corporation tax, and mortgage interest is fully deductible.
-
Personal Ownership: Profits are taxed based on personal income tax rates, and mortgage interest relief is restricted.
Using the calculator helps determine which structure aligns better with your financial goals.
