Non Resident Landlords

Services for a non-resident who earns money from renting out properties in the UK.

A landlord who rents out property in the UK but spends more than six months abroad of the country during the tax year is referred to as a non-resident landlord. These landlords are subject to a unique tax programme known as the non-resident landlord programme. The tax must be subtracted by a letting agent or tenant from the rent paid to the non-resident landlord under the UK non-resident landlord system and paid to HMRC.

• If you rent out a home in the UK, you must pay tax on your rental income.
• If you sell residential property in the UK and make a profit again, you can also be required to pay tax.
• Even if you are a UK resident for tax reasons, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) will classify you as a "non-resident landlord" if you spend six months or more of the year living overseas.
