Do landlords need an accountant?

There is no legal requirement for landlords to hire an accountant, however, it may be beneficial. Investing in property has many financial duties. These include managing rent, obeying tax laws and keeping accurate records. An accountant helps navigate complex rules, identify tax-saving opportunities and avoid penalties.

As landlord accountants in Nottingham, we help with buy-to-let tax regulations, allowable expenses and rental income reporting. Also, hiring a property accountant saves time. It lets you, as a landlord, focus on managing your properties instead of dealing with accounting and tax issues. Overall, having an accountant provides peace of mind and financial clarity.

I only have one property that I let. Do I need an accountant?

There are many different landlords with varying portfolios. Some become a landlord because they inherit a property. They can be put off hiring an accountant as there is a stigma that accountants are hugely expensive and talk jargon. That’s not us. Our fees are transparent, and we speak your language.

We’ve helped many new property owners in these circumstances. Even with one property, you’re subject to the same tax rules, and we can ensure you claim all allowable deductions and stay compliant.

We also benefit from a huge amount of experience in the property sector and can offer other practical advice as well as help with tax requirements.

What do landlord tax accountants do?

Landlord tax accountants focus on the financial and tax obligations of property ownership for landlords. We create personalised tax plans, prepare and submit accurate returns and ensure compliance with HMRC and Companies House.

We assist with the preparation and submission of accurate tax returns and claim all applicable deductions. We navigate complex tax rules related to rental income, capital gains tax, stamp duty and property portfolio structuring. We also offer advice on property tax matters for various types of properties, including residential, commercial and holiday lets.

What happens if you fail to notify HMRC of rental income?

Not notifying HMRC of rental income can lead to significant penalties and legal consequences. If HMRC discovers that you have not declared your rental income, you may face penalties ranging from 10% and rising to 100%. Also, HMRC can investigate up to 20 years of your financial records.

Landlords who voluntarily disclose rental income often face reduced penalties and a smoother process. Landlords who receive letters demanding payment from HMRC will pay substantially more in fines compared to those who declare their income voluntarily. Here at FHP Accounting, we can support you in correcting past returns, disclosing rental incomes and avoiding harsh penalties.
