How Corporation Tax works for a property company
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.

19% on profits up to £50,000, 25% on profits of £250,000 or more, with marginal relief tapering between the two (an effective rate of about 26.5% on the middle slice). Most small property companies pay 19%.
No. Unlike an individual landlord restricted by Section 24, a company deducts mortgage interest in full as a business expense before Corporation Tax. This is a key reason higher-rate landlords consider incorporating.
Yes. Corporation Tax is charged on company profit; if you then draw that profit as dividends or salary, you pay dividend or income tax personally on top. The combined cost is what matters when comparing a company with personal ownership.
