Home » Non-Resident Landlords » Tax Services for non-resident landlords with UK rental income
Our expert team provides tailored tax services for non-resident landlords, ensuring that you meet your UK tax obligations smoothly and efficiently.
• We assist in registering you for UK Self-Assessment, ensuring you comply with HMRC’s requirements. • Even if your rental income is below the UK personal tax-free allowance, you may still need to file a return.
• We prepare and submit your UK Self-Assessment tax return, ensuring you report your rental income accurately and claim all available deductions. • We ensure you pay the right amount of tax—no more, no less.
• The Non-Resident Landlord Scheme (NRLS) allows you to receive rental income without tax being deducted at source. • We assist in registering you for the scheme, meaning your letting agent or tenant can pay your rent gross, instead of deducting 20% tax at source. • If you do not register for the scheme, UK letting agents and tenants are required to deduct tax at 20% before paying you.
• If you sell your UK rental property, you may need to file a Capital Gains Tax (CGT) return within 60 days of the sale. • We provide full CGT reporting and compliance services (see our dedicated CGT page).
Even if your UK rental income is below the personal allowance (GBP 12,570 for most taxpayers), you may still need to file a UK Self-Assessment tax return. We can assess your situation and confirm your reporting obligations.
The NRLS allows non-resident landlords to receive rental income gross (without tax deducted at source). Without registration, tenants or letting agents must deduct 20% tax from your rent before paying you. You still need to report your rental income on your UK Self-Assessment tax return.
The UK has primary taxing rights over income from UK property because the property is located in the UK. However, you may also have tax obligations in your home country. In this case, you may be able to claim foreign tax credits to avoid double taxation.
