MTD for Income Tax

What can landlords claim?

Letting agent fees, repairs and maintenance, insurance, ground rent and service charges, utilities and council tax you pay, accountancy fees, and replacement domestic items for residential lets are typical deductions. Improvements are capital. Mortgage capital repayments are never deductible.

Mortgage interest

Residential finance costs are not deducted from rental income. Instead, a tax credit at 20% of the lower of finance costs, property profits and adjusted total income is given. Higher-rate landlords therefore pay more tax than the cash profit suggests. Unused amounts can be carried forward.

Joint ownership

Married couples and civil partners owning jointly are normally taxed 50:50 unless they own in unequal beneficial shares and file Form 17 with evidence. Other joint owners are taxed according to their agreed shares.

Digital reporting and future changes

MTD for Income Tax applies from 6 April 2026 to individuals with qualifying income over £50,000, then £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. Separate property income rates of 22%, 42% and 47% are announced from 6 April 2027.

Selling a property

Residential property gains are taxed at 18% or 24%. A UK resident disposing of UK residential property with tax to pay must normally report and pay within 60 days of completion.

“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.”
