Property tax can involve rental income, finance-cost restrictions, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax, ownership structure, and the rent-a-room scheme.

Landlord Tax FAQs
Do I pay tax on rental income?
Yes, rental income is taxable. You must declare it on your Self Assessment tax return. However, you can deduct allowable expenses such as letting agent fees, maintenance costs, insurance, and a proportion of mortgage interest (as a 20% tax credit).
What is the Section 24 restriction?
Section 24 (also known as the tenant tax) restricts the amount of mortgage interest landlords can deduct from rental income. Instead of deducting the full amount, landlords receive a basic rate (20%) tax credit on finance costs.
What expenses can landlords claim?
Allowable expenses include property maintenance and repairs, letting agent fees, insurance, legal fees, accountancy fees, ground rent and service charges, council tax when the property is empty, and utility bills you pay.
