Specialist Support for Overseas Landlords and Earlier Years

If rental income was not declared in earlier years, HMRC’s Let Property Campaign guidance explains the disclosure route for landlords who owe tax from letting out residential property in the UK or abroad.
Common landlord tax errors we help avoid

Why Use a Tax Accountant for Your Landlord Tax Return?

The correct position may depend on ownership percentages, mortgage interest finance cost relief, repairs versus improvements, service charges, agent statements, jointly owned property, non-resident landlord rules and whether earlier years need disclosure.
We prepare the return from the records, explain the property income calculation and make sure the figures are ready for approval before filing with HMRC.
Where tax judgement may be needed
- Repairs versus capital improvements.
- Joint ownership and income allocation.
- Mortgage interest and residential finance costs.
- Letting agent statements and missing records.
- Non-resident landlord scheme deductions.

Common questions
Landlord Tax Return Leeds FAQs
Do landlords need to file a Self Assessment tax return?
Many landlords need to report rental income through Self Assessment using the UK property pages. The exact position depends on rental income, expenses, whether HMRC has issued a notice to file and whether the rental income is already within the tax system.
What expenses can landlords claim?
Landlords may be able to claim allowable revenue expenses such as repairs, insurance, agent fees, service charges, ground rent, accountancy fees and other costs incurred wholly and exclusively for the rental business. Capital improvements are treated differently and may be relevant for Capital Gains Tax when the property is sold.
Can I claim mortgage interest on a rental property?
Mortgage interest is subject to specific finance cost relief rules for individual landlords. It is generally not deducted in the same way as ordinary expenses, so it must be reviewed carefully when preparing the property income calculation.
Can you help non-resident landlords?
Yes. We help non-resident landlords with UK rental income reporting, Self Assessment, NRL1 guidance, Non-resident Landlord Scheme issues and tax return preparation.
What if I have not declared rental income in earlier years?
If earlier rental income has not been declared, the position should be reviewed carefully. You may need to correct earlier years or make a disclosure to HMRC. We can review the years involved, calculate the rental profits and advise on the next steps.
Do jointly owned rental properties need separate tax returns?
Each owner is normally responsible for reporting their own share of rental income and expenses. The reporting position depends on ownership shares, whether the owners are spouses or civil partners, and whether any specific declaration has been made.
Can I get an instant quote for a landlord tax return?
Yes. You can use our instant quote page for an initial fee indication. If you have several properties, non-resident landlord issues, undeclared rental income, mixed-use property, messy records or HMRC letters, we may need to review the facts before confirming the final fee.
