Tax Considerations for Non-Resident Landlords.

Non-resident landlords (those living abroad for more than six months per year). Under this scheme, either the letting agent or tenant must deduct basic rate tax (20%) from rental payments.

Non-resident landlords can apply to receive rental income without tax deductions by registering with HMRC’s Non-Resident Landlord Scheme and completing a Self-Assessment tax return.
