Worth knowing
Rules that come up in this work
CIS deductions
The Construction Industry Scheme affects both sides of a construction payment. Contractors must verify subcontractors, deduct the right amount, issue statements and file monthly, with penalties from £100 for each late return. Subcontractors suffer deductions on turnover and recover the excess at the year end. Limited company subcontractors offset deductions against PAYE monthly instead.
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.
Director's loan accounts
The most common tax problem in owner-managed companies is an overdrawn director's loan account: drawings taken during the year that were never declared as dividends or salary. The company faces a 35.75% charge on the balance outstanding nine months after the year end, and the director may have a benefit in kind. We review the account before every year end to clear it properly.
Salary versus dividends
Directors of their own companies usually take a salary at or just above the National Insurance thresholds, which keeps the year qualifying for State Pension and is deductible for Corporation Tax, with further income as dividends. Dividends above the £500 allowance are taxed at 10.75%, 35.75% and 39.35% by band and can only be paid from distributable profits after tax, with a minute and voucher each time.
Corporation Tax rates and marginal relief
Companies pay Corporation Tax at 19% on profits up to £50,000 and 25% on profits over £250,000. Between those figures marginal relief applies, producing an effective rate that rises gradually and a marginal rate of 26.5% on each pound in the band. The thresholds are divided by the number of associated companies, so a director with two companies has thresholds of £25,000 and £125,000 for each.
The VAT registration threshold
VAT registration is compulsory once taxable turnover in any rolling twelve-month period exceeds £90,000, or when you expect to exceed that in the next thirty days alone. The test is rolling, not by tax year, and includes zero-rated sales. Businesses regularly cross it without noticing, and late registration means accounting for VAT on sales where it was never charged to customers.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax began in April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000, extends to those over £30,000 in April 2027 and is planned for £20,000 in April 2028. It requires digital records in compatible software and four quarterly updates to HMRC each year, with a final declaration replacing the traditional return. Payment dates are unchanged.
Questions
Landlord & Property Tax questions from Peckham Rye
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.
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.
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.
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.
Is replacing a kitchen a repair or an improvement?
Replacing like with like, or with the modern equivalent, is a repair and deductible, even if the new kitchen is better quality because standards have risen. Adding something that was not there before, such as extending the kitchen or adding a dishwasher space, is an improvement and goes against the capital gain instead. We split mixed invoices.
What expenses can I claim?
Letting agent fees, repairs and maintenance, buildings and contents insurance, ground rent and service charges, council tax and utilities you pay, accountancy, legal fees for lets of a year or less, replacing furniture and appliances, mileage to the property, and advertising. Improvements, your own labour and the capital part of mortgage payments are not allowable.
Is landlord & property tax in Peckham Rye really the same price as elsewhere?
Yes. The fee published on this page is what a client in Peckham Rye pays and what a client in any other part of England pays. It is confirmed in writing before work starts and the invoice matches the quote. Where a higher package applies because your situation is more complex, we say so at the quote stage, never afterwards.
