Mortgage Interest Relief

Registration for Tax Relief at Source (TRS) - Mortgage Interest Relief

Legislation governing tax relief in respect of mortgage interest payments (TRS) provides for the granting of tax relief based on the amount of qualifying interest paid by a borrower in any tax year. However many Lenders calculate TRS based on the amount of interest charged to a mortgage account irrespective of whether that interest was paid by the borrower or not.

From January 2014 lenders will be obliged to grant TRS based on the amount of interest actually paid by the borrower within a tax year as specified in the legislation.

This change will have no impact for borrowers who pay the correct mortgage amount on time, in accordance with the terms of their loan.

In instances where borrowers do not make payment/s or pay less than the amount of interest charged to their account, then the TRS amount due will be reduced to reflect the actual amount paid.
