Tax Return On Rented Property

[rogerab]

I've completed many income tax returns but never had to do one for rented property. I'll need to do one before January. Are they much different to income tax returns? Will I need an accountant?

Thanks in advance.

If simple, no - there are options to what expenses you can claim like expenses and depreciation on fixtures and fittings, all self-evident in the standard notes.

you need to fill out the relevant section

unless your rents are above £60k I think
three line accounts are sufficient -
takings and expenses and profit

you will pay tax at your top rate on this

I have to say I use an acct - having had regular trouble ( every five to ten years )
