Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for landlords typically provide?
Accountants for landlords typically provide a range of services including preparing and submitting Self Assessment tax returns, calculating capital gains tax on property sales, advising on allowable expenses, and helping with VAT if your rental income exceeds the threshold. They can also assist with Corporation Tax if you hold properties in a limited company, and they offer ongoing tax planning to minimise your liabilities. Many also handle bookkeeping and provide year-end accounts.
How can an accountant help me reduce my tax bill as a landlord?
An accountant can reduce your tax bill by identifying all allowable expenses you may have overlooked, such as letting agent fees, maintenance costs, insurance, and mortgage interest (subject to restrictions). They can also advise on the most tax-efficient structure for your property business, whether that is owning personally or through a limited company. Additionally, they can help with capital allowances for furnished holiday lets and ensure you claim all available reliefs.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a landlord?
You need to be VAT-registered if your total taxable turnover, including rental income, exceeds the current VAT threshold (which is £90,000 from April 2024). However, most residential landlords are exempt from VAT on rent, but you may still need to register if you have other business activities. An accountant can assess your situation and advise whether registration is necessary, and if so, help you manage the process.
What is the difference between ACCA and ICAEW qualified accountants?
ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) are both prestigious professional bodies. ACCA is a global body with a strong focus on international standards, while ICAEW is more UK-centric and historically linked to practice. Both require rigorous exams and ongoing professional development. When choosing an accountant, the specific qualification matters less than their experience with landlord taxation.
How often should I meet with my accountant to review my property finances?
It is advisable to meet with your accountant at least twice a year, once to plan for the upcoming tax year and once to prepare your year-end accounts. However, if your portfolio is large or complex, you may benefit from quarterly reviews. Regular communication ensures you are aware of any tax changes that affect you and allows your accountant to provide proactive advice on acquisitions or disposals.
What records do I need to keep as a landlord for my tax return?
You must keep records of all rental income and expenses, including receipts, bank statements, and tenancy agreements. If you own a property jointly, you also need to record your share of the income. You should retain these records for at least five years after the 31 January submission deadline. An accountant can help you set up an efficient record-keeping system, whether using spreadsheets or accounting software.
