UK property tax for people living abroad
Rental income, non-resident landlord returns and UK property disposals for overseas owners.
In brief
UK rental income remains taxable when you live abroad. The Non-Resident Landlord Scheme affects how rent is paid, while a sale can create a separate 60-day reporting obligation.
Non-residents generally have to report UK land and property disposals within 60 days—even when no tax is payable.
