FAQs
Q: What are the different types of expenses I can deduct from my rental income as a landlord for tax purposes in the UK?
A: As a landlord in the UK, you are entitled to deduct various types of expenses from your rental income before calculating your tax liability. These expenses should be exclusively for the purpose of renting out your property. They include:
-
Mortgage interest: You can deduct a portion of your mortgage interest payments. However, this is currently being phased out and replaced by a basic rate tax reduction.
-
Repairs and maintenance: Any costs incurred for repairing and maintaining the property can be deducted. These include fixing broken appliances, painting, and other general upkeep expenses. However, improvements to the property cannot be claimed.
-
Letting agents' fees: Fees that you pay to let agents for their services can be deducted.
-
Insurance premiums: You can deduct the cost of insurance related to your rental property, such as landlord insurance.
-
Utility bills: If you pay for utilities at the property, these can be deducted.
-
Council tax and services: If you're responsible for paying the council tax or services like cleaning or gardening, you can deduct these costs.
Remember to keep detailed records of all these expenses as you will need to provide evidence in case of an audit.
​
Q: How is my rental income taxed if I'm a non-resident landlord living outside the UK?
A: As a non-resident landlord, your rental income from UK properties is still subject to UK tax. There are two ways this can be handled:
-
Tax deducted at source by letting agent/tenant: Your letting agent (or tenant, if you do not have an agent) is required to deduct basic rate tax from your rental income before sending it to you. They will then pay this tax to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). You should receive a certificate from them at the end of the tax year, showing how much tax they've paid on your behalf.
-
Non-Resident Landlord (NRL) Scheme: You can apply to receive your rental income without tax being deducted at source through the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme. To qualify, you must show HMRC that your UK tax affairs are up to date, or you don't expect to owe any UK tax for the year. If approved, you'll receive your rental income gross, but you'll still be responsible for paying any tax due on it at the end of the tax year.
