Non Resident Landlord Scheme
Compliance and tax filing services for property owners based outside the UK — manage UK property investments with zero compliance risk.
Understanding the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme
The UK tax system dictates that non-UK residents who receive rental income from property within the UK are liable for income tax payable to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
This applies to individuals, companies and trusts that receive UK rental income.
Individuals are considered Non-resident Landlords (NRL) if they live outside the UK for 6 months or more per year.
Companies that are either incorporated outside of the UK or have their main office/premises outside of the UK are classified as NRL.
A trust is a NRL if all trustees live outside of the UK.
Given the attractiveness of the UK property landscape and the buoyant rental market, our clients include individuals, companies and trusts to whom we offer a full range of services.
Our Services Include
How We Can Benefit Your Business
Rental Income Taxation
Rental income derived from UK properties (whether residential or commercial) is taxable within the UK. How this income is taxed is dependent upon whether the landlord is an individual or a company and whether a letting agent is used.
New Legislation Complexity
With the introduction of new legislation it can be tricky to ensure that you are correctly disclosing and reporting to HMRC any income from rental or gains which have arisen on a property disposal and/or that disclosure is in the correct format. This is before you even consider the rebasing rules and the different methods for calculating any gain on disposal!
Capital Gains Tax Obligations
Non-resident individuals are subject to UK Capital Gains Tax on the disposal of property, which needs to be reported to HMRC within 30 days of completion via an NRCGT return (Non-resident Capital Gains Tax Return) and any subsequent liability paid, leaving very little time to adhere to these reporting requirements and obtain the cash funds to settle any liability.
