UK property tax for people living abroad

Simple UK property tax advice for people living abroad: rental tax returns, Let Property Campaign disclosures, and 60-day sale reporting.

In brief

UK rental income is always taxable in the UK, even when you live in another country. The Non-Resident Landlord Scheme affects how your rent is paid, and any property sale must be reported within 60 days.

Non-residents generally have to report UK land and property disposals within 60 days—even when no tax is payable.

Property matters I handle

  • Non-Resident Landlord Scheme (NRL1) forms so you receive rent without 20% tax taken off
  • Annual rental accounts, allowable expense deductions, and Self Assessment tax returns
  • HMRC Let Property Campaign disclosures for undeclared or past missing rental income
  • Making Tax Digital (MTD) quarterly preparation for non-resident landlords
  • SA105 property schedules and SA109 non-resident tax pages
  • Tax deducted by letting agents or tenants and HMRC refund claims
  • UK Capital Gains Tax for non-residents and mandatory 60-day property sale reports
  • Joint property ownership, furnished holiday lets, and changes in property use
