A person who is a qualifying borrower, and who makes a payment of relevant loan interest to a qualifying lender, is entitled to pay that interest under deduction of tax under the mortgage interest relief at source scheme (MIRAS).

This Order prescribes the bodies named in article 3 as qualifying lenders from the dates specified in article 2.

This Order also amends previous Orders (in articles 4 and 5) by omitting the bodies named in those articles.These bodies therefore cease to be qualifying lenders.
