Allow interest and charges as a capital expense for sole trader landlords.

What the petition asks
Amend Government legislation to allow the interest and charges that can no longer be claimed as a REVENUE EXPENSE due to Section 24 of the finance Act 2015 for sole trader 40/45% landlords to be treated as a CAPITAL EXPENSE
The Government should do this because it is morally correct that a paid expense should be claimed somewhere, Section 24 was brought in to slow down the Buy To Let market and this will still be achieved while at least offering the respect to sole trader landlords that the REAL money that they have paid out can now be claimed when they sell their property.
