Income tax
UK resident landlords have a responsibility to inform the Inland Revenue of rental income received and to pay any tax due. Where the landlord is resident outside the UK during a tenancy (unless an exemption certificate is held) We are required to retain and forward to the Inland Revenue on a quarterly basis, an amount equal to the basic rate of income tax from rental received, less certain expenses. An application form for exemption from deductions is available from us, and further information may be obtained from the Inland Revenue.
Deposits
If a landlord lives overseas but lets a property in England or Wales on an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) and takes a deposit. We will have to protect their tenants’ deposit by placing it in a government backed custodial scheme.
