Property tax depends on ownership structure, property type and the transactions involved. Individual landlords, partnerships and property companies can have very different tax outcomes even when they own similar assets.
Britvex can maintain property records, prepare rental accounts and Self Assessment returns, and support landlords who fall within Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
For individual residential landlords, finance-cost relief is restricted to the basic rate rather than deducted in the same way as an ordinary business expense. Companies are not subject to that same restriction.
Property disposals can also create Capital Gains Tax reporting obligations, while VAT treatment differs significantly between residential letting, commercial property and opted-to-tax transactions.

The Issues That Actually Matter
Live from April 2026
MTD for Income Tax applies from 6 April 2026 to qualifying sole traders and landlords above the first rollout threshold, with lower thresholds phased in later.
Individuals vs companies
Residential finance-cost relief is restricted for individuals but not in the same way for property companies.
Separate reporting
Certain UK property disposals can require a separate in-year CGT report in addition to the annual tax return.
Property & Landlords — Common Questions
Does MTD for Income Tax apply to landlords?
Yes, for qualifying landlords based on total qualifying property and self-employment income under the phased rollout rules.
Can individual landlords deduct all mortgage interest?
Residential property finance costs for individuals are subject to the basic-rate tax-reduction regime rather than a full ordinary deduction.
Are property companies treated differently?
Yes. Companies are within Corporation Tax and are not subject to the same individual residential-finance-cost restriction.
Can property disposals require a separate CGT report?
Yes. Certain disposals of UK residential property and non-resident UK property transactions can require reporting within the statutory in-year deadline.
Can Britvex manage multiple rental properties?
Yes. UK properties can be managed within the relevant property-business records and reporting framework.
