International Accounting Services for Overseas Landlords

International Accounting Services for Overseas Landlords

If you’re a landlord living outside the UK for over 6 months, you may face tax withholding unless you’re registered with the Non-Resident Landlords’ Scheme. We can assist you with the registration process and ensure you’re compliant with UK tax laws.

We also provide expert guidance on the Capital Gains Tax regime for non-residents who own residential property in the UK.

We help you manage tax obligations, including filing required statements and offering comprehensive advice on your property rental business.

Accounting Services for Offshore Income and Requirement to Correct

If you have offshore income, including foreign rental income, HMRC’s Requirement to Correct mandates that all income be declared by UK taxpayers. Non-disclosure could lead to significant penalties, including fines up to 100% of the tax owed and possible asset seizure.

At Pearl Lemon Accountants we can assist you with the declaration process, ensuring you’re fully compliant with HMRC’s requirements. We’ll also work on your behalf to negotiate penalties and protect your assets, offering peace of mind while managing your offshore income obligations.
