NON-RESIDENT LANDLORD TAX
Simple, compliant UK property tax for owners living overseas
Owning UK property from abroad comes with obligations that are easy to miss. At TaxDigit, chartered certified accountants in Guildford, Surrey, we take the time to understand your property, your residence position and your goals, then handle the whole picture so you keep more of your rental income and never miss an HMRC deadline.
Whether you let a single flat or run a portfolio, we manage the detail — the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, allowable expenses, Self Assessment and non-resident capital gains — while making sure you never pay more tax, or a penny more penalty, than you have to.
The problems we solve for you
Most overseas landlords overpay simply because no one is claiming every relief on their behalf. We change that.
- The automatic 20% deduction — we register you under the NRLS so your rent is paid gross.
- Overpaying on profit — we claim every allowable expense to minimise your taxable income.
- Selling UK property — we handle non-resident CGT and the strict 60-day deadline.
- Structuring — we advise whether to hold property personally or through a company.

Frequently asked questions
How do I stop the 20% tax being deducted from my UK rent?
By registering under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, you can apply to receive your rent gross and pay tax through Self Assessment instead. We handle the application for you.
I am selling my UK property while living abroad — what do I need to do?
Non-residents must report and pay Capital Gains Tax on UK residential property within 60 days of completion. We prepare the return and plan ahead to minimise the gain.
Should I hold my UK property personally or through a company?
It depends on your income, portfolio size and goals. We model both and recommend the most tax-efficient route for your circumstances.
