Landlord tax questions
What is Section 24?
Section 24 restricts how individual landlords relieve mortgage interest and other finance costs on residential property. Instead of deducting them from rental income, you receive a tax reduction at the basic rate. This can raise the bill for higher-rate taxpayers, so planning matters.
Which expenses can I claim?
Revenue costs such as letting agent fees, repairs and maintenance, insurance and ground rent are generally allowable. Improvements that add to the property's value are usually capital rather than deductible against rent, though they may reduce a later gain. We help you classify each item.
Do I have to file a return if I rent out a property?
Often, yes. Whether you must depends on how much rental income you receive, whether the property allowance covers it and your other circumstances. We confirm whether you need to file and, if you do, prepare the return for you.
What happens when I sell a rental property?
You may owe Capital Gains Tax on the gain. For UK residential property, the sale generally has to be reported and any tax paid on account within 60 days of completion. We calculate the gain, make the report and handle the follow-up.
