Frequently asked questions
What specific services do accountants for landlords typically offer?
Accountants for landlords usually offer a range of services including preparing and filing Self Assessment tax returns, calculating and advising on capital gains tax, managing VAT returns, and providing guidance on allowable expenses. They can also assist with tax planning for future property purchases or sales, and help with HMRC enquiries or investigations. Many also offer bookkeeping services to keep your rental income and expenditure records accurate and up to date.
How can an accountant help me save money on my tax return?
An accountant can save you money by ensuring you claim every allowable expense you are entitled to, such as letting agent fees, repairs, insurance, and mortgage interest (subject to current rules). They will also structure your finances efficiently, potentially advising on whether operating as a limited company is more tax-efficient for you. Their knowledge of current tax legislation ensures you do not overpay, and they can help you plan for future tax liabilities.
What is the difference between ACCA, ICAEW, and AAT qualified accountants?
ACCA (Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) and ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) are chartered accountancy bodies, requiring rigorous exams and practical experience. They often work with larger businesses and complex tax issues. AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) is a lower-level qualification but still ensures competence in bookkeeping and basic tax. All three are recognised and regulated, but chartered accountants typically have more advanced knowledge for complex landlord portfolios.
Do I need to be VAT-registered as a landlord, and can an accountant help?
Most landlords are not required to be VAT-registered unless their rental income exceeds the current VAT threshold, which is £90,000. However, if you are VAT-registered, you must charge VAT on certain services. An accountant can advise on whether you need to register, manage your VAT returns, and ensure you are reclaiming any VAT you are entitled to on your business expenses. They can also advise on the implications of the option to tax on commercial properties.
What should I look for when choosing an accountant for my property portfolio?
Look for an accountant who specialises in property taxation and has experience working with landlords. Check their qualifications and membership with professional bodies like ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT. Consider their communication style and whether they are proactive in offering tax planning advice. It is also wise to ask about their fees and what services are included. Reading reviews or asking for references can help you make an informed choice.
How can an accountant assist if I receive a letter from HMRC?
If you receive a letter from HMRC regarding your tax return or a compliance check, an accountant can act as your agent and handle all correspondence on your behalf. They will review the letter, gather the necessary evidence, and prepare a response. They can also represent you in meetings with HMRC and negotiate on your behalf. This reduces stress and ensures your rights are protected throughout the process.
