A limited company that holds rental property pays Corporation Tax on its profit, not income tax. The profit is the rental income less allowable costs, and crucially a company deducts mortgage interest in full, which is the main attraction of incorporating for a higher-rate landlord caught by Section 24.
The rate depends on the size of the profit. Up to £50,000 the small-profits rate of 19% applies; at £250,000 or more the main rate is 25%; in between, marginal relief tapers the rate so the effective charge on the middle slice is around 26.5%. Most single-property companies sit in the 19% band.
Those £50,000 and £250,000 limits are divided between associated companies, so if you control several companies each gets a smaller slice of the lower rate. They are also reduced for accounting periods shorter than twelve months.
Corporation Tax is only the first layer. The profit left in the company can be reinvested, but to spend it personally you pay yourself a salary or dividends and are taxed again on that. Whether a company beats personal ownership depends on your wider position, which is exactly what we model before you incorporate.
