What software do we recommend for landlords?

Using software to track your income and outgoings. For smaller landlords, a simple spreadsheet is usually perfectly adequate for tracking your finances.

Landlords with 3-4 properties or more may find it useful to be a little more organised and proactive. We recommend that you have a dedicated bank account, which you can then use together with accounting software such as Xero and Quickbooks. We are experts in these tools and recommend their use.

How much tax do I pay as a landlord?

As a landlord, various taxes apply, such as Income Tax at 20% or 40% of profit, and Capital Gains Tax upon property sale. Residential lets incur 18% or 28% tax on profit. 

Commercial and holiday lets offer potential reliefs, including Rollover Relief, Entrepreneurs Relief, and Business Transfer Relief. These lettings also qualify for inheritance tax reliefs as categorized businesses.

What can landlords claim tax relief on?

Landlords are able to claim tax relief on a variety of things, including but not limited to:

  • Utility costs
  • Professional and laundry
  • Cleaning and laundry
  • Repairs and maintenance
  • Mortgage interest and other finance charges
  • Advertising, promotions and welcome packs

Recent tax changes impact residential landlords, phasing out mortgage interest relief by 2020, replaced by a 20% tax credit. Limited companies retain full relief.
