Accountants for landlords of buy to lets, HMO’s and commercial properties
Whether you hold a large portfolio of rental property, or are letting out your holiday home through Airbnb, you need to be mindful of your tax situation. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that a few weeks’ cash in hand won’t attract the attention of the taxman, but HMRC is taking a greater interest in landlords of all types. You don’t even have to be resident in the UK to be liable for tax related to your rental properties.
Landlords’ property includes:
- Commercial property
- Holiday homes or rooms in a house whether rented privately or through a third party eg Airbnb, booking.com
- Houses in multiple occupation (HMO) eg student accommodation
- Buy to let private property
- Overseas property
