HOME / SERVICES & EXPERTISE / Undeclared Rental Income and the Let Property Campaign

Undeclared Rental Income and the Let Property Campaign

The Let Property Campaign, similar to other voluntary tax disclosure opportunities, is designed to encourage landlords with undisclosed rental income to come forward and regularise their tax affairs on favourable terms. With the correct professional advice, lower penalties and affordable payment plans can often be negotiated.

PROMPTED LET PROPERTY CAMPAIGN LETTER

HMRC are actively targeting landlords who they know have undeclared rental income with a Prompted Let Property Campaign letter.

Throughout July and August 2018, in 2019 and again in 2020, HMRC sent the huge batch of ‘Let Property Campaign‘ letters to landlords and other buy-to-let investors with undeclared rental income.

WHO CAN USE THE LET PROPERTY CAMPAIGN

The Let Property Campaign is open to all residential property landlords with undisclosed rental income. This includes:

  • Landlords with multiple properties
  • Accidental landlords with single rental properties
  • Holiday lettings
  • renting out a room in your main home for more than the Rent a Room Scheme threshold
  • Non Resident Landlords who live abroad or intend to live abroad for more than 6 months and rent out a property in the UK

PENALTIES FOR NOT DECLARING RENTAL INCOME

The rate of penalties will vary depending on your individual circumstances and whether you made a ‘unprompted’ or a ‘prompted’ disclosure. Interest will be charged from the date the tax is due till the date it is actually paid. Incorrect or incomplete disclosures may also attract higher penalties.

LET PROPERTY CAMPAIGN DEADLINE

No specific deadline has yet been announced to make a disclosure under the Let Property Campaign. Similar tax disclosure facilities such as the Liechtenstein Disclosure Facility have come to an abrupt end. HMRC then uses the information they hold to target those who should have made a disclosure but failed to do so. Those with undeclared rental income should make a voluntary disclosure as soon as possible to settle on the most favourable terms.

OVER £42 MILLION RECOVERED in 2018-19

An analysis of HMRC data has revealed over £42 million has been recovered from landlords with undeclared rental income in 2018-19, double the £21 million recorded in 2017-18.

This decision follows that of an earlier case that HMRC chose to ignore (John Price) and HMRC were criticised for continuing with a policy that the courts had disagreed with.
