Accounting services for landlords and property investors

In the UK, buy-to-let (BTL) landlords and property investors must comply with a range of tax reporting requirements. From rental income to property sales, keeping accurate records and submitting returns correctly is essential. Working with an experienced property accountant can help make managing these obligations much simpler.

Different taxes, one accounting partner

As a landlord in the UK, you may be subject to several different taxes depending on your circumstances. When buying or selling property, you may need to consider Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) and Capital Gains Tax (CGT). If you rent out a property, the rental income you receive is taxable based on your net annual profits and must be declared to HM Revenue & Customs, either through Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for Income Tax) or via Self Assessment.

In some situations, there may also be Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED) considerations where residential property is held through a company or similar structure. As tax rates and regulations relating to property can change over time, working with a knowledgeable accountant can help ensure your reporting remains accurate and compliant.
