Short answer

An online landlord accountant collects agent statements and mortgage interest certificates digitally, prepares rental accounts per property, and files your return electronically. You approve everything online and never need to post a receipt.

How records reach us

Upload agent statements, mortgage certificates and invoices, or connect an account in Xero or a landlord app. We chase what is missing rather than waiting for you to notice. Everything stays in one place for the six years HMRC may ask about.

What Making Tax Digital means for landlords

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is arriving in phases for landlords above set income levels, which will mean quarterly updates rather than one annual return. Working digitally now means the change is a setting rather than a project. We will tell you well before your own start date.

Getting a straight answer quickly

Basic questions are free and answered the same working day: is a new boiler a repair, can I claim mileage to the property, does a void period change anything. Technical work such as a disposal computation is quoted first.

Before you act

Rates, thresholds and deadlines quoted here reflect the current UK position and current HMRC and Companies House guidance. Check GOV.UK, or ask us, before relying on them for your own business.

What Our Clients Say

Rated 4.9 out of 5From 302 Google reviews
We worked with a few different accountants before finally settling with Accotax, and we're really glad we did. They take the time to understand how our business works and what our needs are. Anum, who looks after our account on a day-to-day basis, including reconciling invoices and preparing the annual accounts, is amazing, professional, efficient, and follows the processes we have put in place together. Accotax has made our accounting experience much smoother and easier. We see them as a long-term partner as our business continues to grow. I would 100% recommend them.

I am very satisfied with the service provided by Muhammad Saifullah. He has been handling my tax situation in the UK with great professionalism, clarity and attention to detail. He took the time to explain every step of the process and made a complex situation much easier to understand. I felt confident and well supported throughout.
Hugo Alvarez · Personal tax position in the UK
I had a positive experience with Accotax. The work was completed promptly, my tax return was successfully filed, and I received a refund of overpaid tax. I found the cooperation efficient and helpful. Special thanks to Muhammad Saifullah for his assistance.

Frequently asked

Landlord accountant online: questions directors ask

I live abroad. Can you still act?

Yes, and we also handle the non resident landlord scheme.

Do you need original receipts?

Digital copies are fine and are what HMRC expects under digital record keeping.

How long does a return take?

Usually two weeks from complete records to a return ready for approval.

Should property income for landlord accountant online be held personally or in a company?

The answer depends on financing, existing gains, income tax rates, extraction plans and long-term ownership. Moving an existing property can trigger tax and legal costs, so compare the full life-cycle position before changing ownership.

Repairs that restore an asset are commonly revenue costs, while improvements and acquisition costs are usually capital. The distinction affects current tax relief and the gain on a later sale, so invoices should describe the work clearly.

Keep bank statements, sales and platform reports, purchase invoices, payroll records, VAT workings, finance agreements and Companies House correspondence. We confirm the exact list at onboarding and identify gaps before a filing deadline becomes urgent.

Yes. We request professional clearance, collect the prior records and authorities, check the next Companies House and HMRC deadlines, and give you one clear handover list. The process is normally completed remotely.

Yes. We work through secure cloud records, scheduled reviews and digital approvals, while keeping a named team available by phone, video call and email. Clients can also visit our Morden office by appointment.
