Local guide
Landlord tax return in London: what you need to know
HMRC rules are the same across the UK, but the people who need help are not. This is how the landlord tax return works for landlords with one property or many in London. Our London tax return page covers every service, and the fixed fee is the same wherever you are.
Who needs a landlord tax return in London?
If your gross rental income in London is over £1,000 in a tax year you generally need to tell HMRC through Self Assessment. The £1,000 property allowance can replace actual costs if that is better.
The local picture in London
London’s finance, media, technology and creative industries support a huge number of freelancers, contractors and small company directors. London rents are among the highest in the UK, so landlords often have larger rental profits and higher incomes.
Allowable costs for London landlords
Landlords typically deduct agent fees, insurance, service charges and repairs, plus ground rent, service charges, accountancy fees and costs of replacing domestic items. Mortgage interest is not deducted from rent. It receives a 20% tax credit instead. Improvements are capital costs and are treated differently from repairs.
Worked example for London
A landlord with a flat in London, letting for £24,000 a year with £4,500 of allowable costs (agent fees, insurance, service charges and repairs), has a taxable property profit of £19,500. Added to other income, that is taxed at 20% for basic-rate taxpayers (£3,900) or 40% for higher-rate taxpayers (£7,800), before the mortgage interest credit. Figures are illustrative and exclude other income or reliefs.
