Preparing Landlords for Making Tax Digital
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is being introduced in stages and will affect many landlords over the coming years.
Under the new rules, eligible landlords will be required to:
• Keep digital records
• Use HMRC-compatible software
• Submit quarterly updates to HMRC
• Complete a Final Declaration at the end of the tax year
I can help you transition smoothly from paper records or spreadsheets to an efficient digital bookkeeping system that meets HMRC requirements.
What Expenses Can Landlords Claim?
Keeping accurate records is essential to ensure allowable expenses are correctly identified and reported.
Common allowable expenses may include:
• Letting agent fees
• Property maintenance and repairs
• Insurance premiums
• Accountancy and bookkeeping fees
• Utility bills (where applicable)
• Ground rent and service charges
• Mortgage interest relief (subject to current HMRC rules)
I can help ensure your records are organised and ready for tax reporting purposes.
