Landlords - you have until 31st January 2026 to file your 24-25 tax return on line. Even if your properties are in a corporate structure, you must file a self assessment return as a director, regardless of whether you took a salary or dividend, or neither. According to HMRC, 54,000 tax payers filed over New Year's Eve and New Year's Day with the most popular time being the hour before midnight!

HMRC figures also reveal that 5.65 million tax payers are still to file before the end of January. April 2026 will see further burdens heaped on landlords and the self-employed as HMRC are imposing quarterly reporting as part of Making Tax Digital. 

Remember that all allowable expenses can be deducted from rent revenues, including letting and management fees, and finance costs can be deducted at the end of your return.
