Non-residential landlords
Non-residential landlords that live outside of the UK are obligated to pay tax on any income earned from letting out their UK property. Failure to do so could potentially result in them having to pay a penalty of up to 100% of that tax. That is why it is so important for HMRC non-resident landlords to stay vigilant over their overseas landlord tax.
We often see individuals who don’t believe that UK income tax is not due on their UK property income if they’re a landlord living abroad and reporting the income there. However, this is an incorrect assumption, and under the UK domestic law (and international tax treaty law) the UK will have the first right to tax income from the UK situated real estate, even if it is also subject to tax in another country.
