Non-Resident Landlords
Landlords (individuals, companies and trusts) who have UK rental income and whose place of ‘abode’ is outside the UK have a legal obligation of reporting and getting taxed on their rental income received in the UK.
Non-Resident Landlords have to register with HMRC under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme (NRLS) in order to ensure that their tenants or letting agents are not passing on 20% withholding tax from the rental income to HMRC, who otherwise are obliged to do so.
