The mortgage payments are mostly to make up for the value of money going down because of the governments insane money-printing. But since they are not printing loads of houses (they should be) the house goes up in price while the real value of what you owe on the mortgage plummets - that’s why BTL works so well.
i think they are fairly tax-neutral because the massive sums they hand out to landlords via housing benefit more or less equals the amount of income tax they get back from them.
