    Heya guys
    During a refinance Is the mortgage termination fee (Not break fees) from one bank deductible or a capital cost? If deductible presumably I can capitalise it on the new loan and claim interest on I?

    The mortgage discharge fee would be deductible when incurred - assuming it was relating to a loan on which the interest is deductible. You could borrow to pay it.
