RE: Can existing FHL Losses be split between co-owners when moving to new regime?
Hi,
We would advise that as the years the losses arose were declared by yourself and should have been declared within 4 years of the losses arising, your husband would not be entitled to the benefit of earlier years losses, so would only be carried forwards by yourself against UK and overseas property business as appropriate.
You may wish to amend any years within the allowable 4 year window, however, this may affect your own tax liabilities.
Any losses arising from 5th April onwards would then be split between yourself and your husband under the new process.

RE: Adjusted Net Income - deduction for residential property finance costs
Hi,
In regard to question 1, you are correct no further relief would be due for personal pension contributions as these are taken gross, you would also declare your gross income before contributions as these are ignored for the purposes of calculating adjusted net income.
Regarding question 2, would be the total rental income minus costs.
Question 3/4, we would advise dividend & interest income below the allowance would count towards net adjusted income.
For further insight follow the attached guidance:

RE: Declaration of Trust/Deed of Trust/Deed of Assignment – which one for rental income?
Hi,
1) No change of ownership is required.
2) Your wifes’ share of the income whatever it is should be declared on her tax return.
3) No a Form 17 would not be valid in these instances but deed of trust is. The guidance is here:
TSEM9160
4) Yes you can submit a declaration of trust to HMRC. You would send this thorough the post with a covering letter explaining the situation. Please make sure that both you and your wifes’ national insurance numbers are on the letter and that you have both signed the letter. You are advised to make a declaration of trust through a Solicitor.
5) A declaration of trust is a legally binding document that creates a trust. However most types of trusts giving an interest in property to somebody who is not the legal owner now need to be registered with HMRC via the Trust Registration Service. You can find guidance on the registration requirements and how to register here:
Register a trust as a trustee.
There’s also more information about what type of trusts need to be registered at:
TRSM23050
Thank you.

RE: FHL tax regime changes from April 2025
Hi,
The legislation passed as part of the budget. The new rules will come into force from 06/04/2025.
No a new claim for embedded capital allowances cannot be accepted on or after 06/04/2025.
Existing claims for embedded capital allowances can be carryed forward.
Where qualifying capital expenditure has been included in a capital allowance pool by 5 April 2025 writing down allowances, balancing allowances and charges can continue to be claimed after April 2025 on that pooled expenditure until it is used up or a small pool claim is made.
