Shem,

I think considering the tax rates is not the right starting point. It is good that you are wanting to make money, but it is not a case of making £25,000 on a property in a year. There are numerous ways of building a porftolio - BMV, refurb, development, conversion to name a few. Each will have it's own tax implications (some income, others capital gains). If you are talking about getting into BTl property then that may be just buying a property and renting out to tenants. in the current climate, unless you are able to find very high yielding properties (10% and higher) tax won't be a major issue as various costs - mortgage repayments, tenant finding, repairs & maintenance, letting agents fees, service charges etc will all erode any profits you make.

Hope that helps,

 

Godd Luck to you!

Taxes depend upon the income, however you may get exemptions by saving for various schemes. If you want to invest, invest for insurance plans, you will get tax benefits also.

Investing for mortgaged property is also a good option.
