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.
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.
