View Jane's profileRental income has been subject to significant change, which makes calculating taxable profit a challenge for landlords and property investors
If you let property then this rental income is usually taxed as it is considered an investment.
You may be an accidental landlord, investing for regular income, capital growth or as part of your retirement planning but keeping up to date with changing rates, allowances and tax laws is challenge.
In recent years landlords and property investors have seen a series of changes to the way that tax is levied and changes to reliefs. Rules for non-domiciled and non-residential individuals have also changed which adds to the complexity of taxation for some landlords. With an increasing global mobile workforce, many individuals are letting out their property for periods when relocated overseas.
However it can be challenging to work out allowable expenses and calculate the profit you need to pay tax on, especially as rental income is an area that has been the subject of significant change.
If you live overseas and receive additional income there may be added considerations from a tax perspective. The tax treatment of non domiciled and non resident landlords is an area that has changed and it can be difficult to keep up to date with the latest rules.
