Our understanding
Owning property in the UK has been an attractive investment over the last 20 years or so, and the number of non-resident landlords has increased significantly. This surge has been made up of a mix of former UK residents or those who have never lived in the UK but who saw the opportunity of a good investment.
Dealing with the various property tax issues is a difficulty that landlords have to contend with. What’s more, tax rules for non-resident property owners have become more complex in recent years as the property tax and capital gains tax rules have changed.
At Wisteria, we act for a large number of non-resident landlords, providing a complete tax and accountancy support service. We are qualified and regulated, and we can support you with your international tax affairs.
How we can help
Typically, our service can include:
- Preparing annual non-resident landlord tax returns for landlords based outside the UK
- Ensuring landlords continue to receive rents without deduction of tax
- Registering with the UK tax authorities
- Advising on income and capital gains tax changes
- Receiving statements directly from managing agents
- Dealing with HMRC queries or enquiries
- Dealing with corporates owning properties and ATED returns
- Receiving payments and making tax payments from client funds, where appropriate.
- We pride ourselves on offering a personal and professional service.
We tend to support non-residents owning between one to 10 properties, but we support a small number of landlords and groups owning up 80 properties.
For more information on our non-resident landlord tax services or any of our other accountancy services, please contact us.
