Self assessment - quick question for property owners

2 replies

Longtallsally · 16/12/2011 12:17

We leased out a little flat for a year, and am doing our first tax self assessment. Quick question if there is anyone else out there who has done a return for property income:

On the property page, the top box is for your income on the property and then a box underneath it for tax deducted on the rent and other income from it.

But I am doing the assessment for them to tell me the tax I need to pay. What is that box all about? Just spent 20 minutes waiting on the helpline, and then the helper went to check with her boss, as no-one had ever asked her before and we got cut off. Can't face another 20 minute wait if clever Mnetters know the answer.

TIA

Hi Longtallsally
The tax deduction box is for tax deducted at source before you receive the rents. This is usually only used when the landlord lives overseas and the rent is paid via an agent.
Most landlords can ignore this box

Oh thank you. I did manage to get back to the helpline and the person I spoke to next really wasn't sure what it was for, but thought it might be something to do with businesses!?!

Nice to have a definite answer. Good ol' MN!
