Tax on UK rent income for a non-UK resident

[Fred Bloggs]

Yeah I changed my mind after a read, it's complicated plus there's DTA, SRT and the UK gov currently trying to change the rules on this to consider.

Stek just pawn in game of life.

Yes, well I am out of the UK tax net presently. When I filled out the SA109 along with my 16/17 tax self assessment return, I ticked the box for personal allowance to apply. The basis for me is "is a UK citizen", so I qualified, but there are other qualifiers too for if you are not a UK citizen that may still entitle you to claim a UK personal allowance. OP just needs to read the guide notes published from HMRC.

As I said above - Possibly. You need to read the rules on that. HMRC guidance is quite clear who qualifies and how.

Are you sure? She is an EU citizen.

The lack of ability to Google stuff some professionals on here have does astound me sometimes!

Amen to that. A forum of IT specialists who get paid to play on Google all day. It's ridiculous.

Also will she have the £11 000 tax free allowance?

No!!

you should charge for this quality of service

Has she asked her letting agent?

[pscont]

Thanks. She will not use an agency so I guess she needs to register to the rent gross and pay tax later with SA.
Is that the way?

Hi all
this is for one of my relatives. Situation is:

non-UK citizens
live out of UK permanently

She recently bough a flat in the UK as investment, to rent it.

From what I gather she needs to pay tax on the rent from the flat in the UK. Regardless that she lives out of UK. That is fine.
However how is this done - self assesment might not work electronically. She has NINo, but not a UTR number.

Also she is married but the flat is 100% in her name. Can she split the rental income to her husband so they use the £11000 allowance?

Thanks

Your relative will be taxed as non-resident landlord and will need to file a tax return in the UK. Tax will need to be deducted from the rent by the letting agency or the tenant unless she is registered to receive the rent gross.

Nice bit of research done before buying it I see.
