I bought a house about 4 years ago and lived in it, then I moved in with my partner and rented my PPR about 1 year ago.

I am filling in my tax return at mo and am trying to figure out the interest relief. ... as the house was my PPR I got mortgage interest relief deducted at source. My question is can I still claim interest relief when I calculate tax due on the property or is this double counting the relief....

I know I have to pay stamp duty on the difference ...can someone tell me if this is pro-rated...ie the claw back is 5 years so in this case do I only have to pay 2/5 (on basis house is rented 2 of 5 years within first 5 years)?

Thanks

There's no pro rating of the stamp duty liability. You'll have to pay the full liability that an investor would have had to have paid on the same property 5 years ago when you bought it.

You can only get mortgage interest relief when you are owner occupier called TRS
When renting you get relief for interest as a dedction when calcualting taxable rental income
