Do I Need to Complete a Tax Return for Rental Income?

Yes. If your rental income is more than £2,500 a year after allowable expenses, you’ll need to file a Self Assessment tax return. Should your rental income fall under £1,000, you do not have to pay income tax or file a Self Assessment tax return.

Please note that you may need to pay Income Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax, Capital Gains Tax, National Insurance and declare any losses on your Self Assessment form depending on the circumstances surrounding your property income. If you need help maintaining accurate records of your rental income and expenses, contact us. We’ll help you compile your monthly statements so you know exactly what you need to pay in landlord tax to avoid heavy fines and penalties.
