Landlords that receive rent from their properties are deemed to be engaging in a trade, therefore there is potential for Income Tax to be paid on profits. However, the term rental income tax is used a lot and is not accurate, as with any trade there is income (rental) and there is expenditure.
The expenditure in its various forms is allowable against the rental income as long as the expenditure is wholly and exclusively for the purposes of the business, i.e. it has to have been incurred as a result of the property being rented out.
Our PGA Tax Returns website discusses the many items that are allowable against rental income including our accountancy fees for preparing your landlords self-assessment tax return.
