Worth knowing

Rules that come up in this work

Switching accountants

The main reasons people switch accountant are surprise invoices, missed deadlines and not understanding what they are being told. Switching involves a clearance letter between the firms, a transfer of records and agent authorisations, and a short handover of the current position. It takes about two weeks and should cost nothing extra.

Closing a company

A solvent company that has finished its purpose can be dissolved by voluntary strike-off: form DS01 with a £13 Companies House fee, after three months without trading and with all debts paid, final accounts and tax return filed, and assets distributed. HMRC objects to any application where returns or tax are outstanding, so the sequence matters more than the form.

Confirmation statements and identity verification

Companies House has tightened its requirements under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act: every company needs a registered email address and an appropriate registered office, every statement includes a lawful-purpose declaration, and every director and PSC must verify their identity. The confirmation statement, due annually with a £50 fee, is where most of this is confirmed.

CIS deductions

CIS turns construction subcontractors into advance taxpayers: a fifth of every labour payment goes to HMRC before they see it. Registering keeps the rate at 20% rather than 30%; gross payment status, for established businesses with a clean record, removes deductions altogether. The annual return is where the overpayment comes back, and filing it early brings the refund sooner.

Record keeping

Good records are the difference between a quick enquiry and a long one. For the self-employed, five years after the filing deadline; for companies, six years from the year end; for VAT, six years. Photographs of receipts, PDF statements and software exports all count. The requirement is to keep records, not paper, and a well-organised cloud folder satisfies it.

Allowable expenses

The expenses sole traders most often miss are home working costs, claimed by actual proportion or HMRC's flat rate, the business share of phone and internet, mileage at 45p for the first 10,000 business miles, and training that maintains existing skills. The ones most often claimed wrongly are commuting, entertaining customers and clothes that could be worn outside work.

Crypto records and reporting

HMRC treats cryptoassets as property. Swapping one token for another, spending crypto or gifting it are all disposals for Capital Gains Tax, and staking and lending rewards are income. Gains are computed under pooling rules with same-day and 30-day matching. From 2026 HMRC receives data from exchanges worldwide under the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, so unreported activity is increasingly visible.

Questions

Landlord & Property Tax questions from Noak Hill

Should I put my properties into a limited company?

Sometimes. A company deducts mortgage interest in full and pays Corporation Tax at 19% to 25%, but extracting profit costs dividend tax, mortgages are dearer and transferring existing properties triggers CGT and SDLT. It suits higher-rate taxpayers building a portfolio long term; it rarely suits one or two properties. Our tax planning review runs the numbers.

I live abroad and rent out a UK property. Do I still pay UK tax?

Yes. UK rental income is taxed in the UK regardless of your residence, with the personal allowance available to most non-residents. Letting agents or tenants must deduct 20% at source unless you are approved under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme to receive rent gross. We handle the approval and the annual return.

I rent out a room in my own home. Is that taxable?

Rent-a-room relief exempts the first £7,500 a year of income from letting furnished accommodation in your main home, or £3,750 each if the income is shared. Above that you can pay tax on the excess over £7,500 or on actual profit. Lodgers, Airbnb rooms and short-term lets of a room all qualify.

I have been letting for years and never declared it. What now?

HMRC's Let Property Campaign allows landlords to disclose undeclared rental income with lower penalties than if HMRC finds it, which with data from letting agents, deposit schemes and councils it increasingly does. We quantify the undeclared years, prepare the disclosure and negotiate the settlement. Acting first is always cheaper.

What is included in the £149 one-property fee?

The rental income and expenditure account for the property, a review of every expense category, the finance-cost credit calculation, the UK property pages and the rest of your Self Assessment return completed and filed with HMRC. Rental income alongside employment or a pension is the most common case and this fee covers it.

How is mortgage interest treated now?

Since April 2020 individual landlords cannot deduct mortgage interest or other finance costs from rental profit. Instead you receive a tax reduction of 20% of the finance costs. For higher-rate taxpayers this means more tax than under the old rules, and the restriction can push rental profit into a higher band. We calculate it and carry forward any unused credit.
