No need to adjust main residence tax deduction if floor clause refund is used to repay mortgage principal

A taxpayer inquired whether receiving a refund due to a floor clause requires adjusting the tax deduction for investment in the main residence, provided the funds are used to repay the loan principal. The Directorate General for Taxes (DGT) ruled that no adjustment is necessary if the funds are applied directly to the amortisation of the principal.
