New Tax Changes Every Landlord Needs to Know

Landlords are once again facing a new wave of tax increases — and it’s crucial to understand how these changes might affect your income and long-term property strategy.

Here’s a breakdown of the key updates:

1. Higher Tax Rates for Personally Owned Rental Properties (From April 2027)

If your rental property is held in your own name, new income tax bands of 22%, 42%, and 47% will apply. This means many landlords will face a higher tax bill on their rental profits.

2. Increased Dividend Tax for Limited Company Landlords (From April 2026)

While corporation tax remains unchanged, the dividend tax rate will rise by 2%.
Depending on your total income, the new rates will be:

  • 10.75%

  • 35.75%

  • 39.35%

This change affects all company owners, not just landlords — a subtle but significant shift that reduces the tax efficiency of paying yourself through dividends.

Early calculations suggest that for many self-employed landlords, operating as a sole trader may now be more tax-efficient than using a limited company structure.

Making Tax Digital For Landlords

MTD for ITSA replaces the traditional annual Self Assessment tax return with a new, digital system. The main requirements are:

Digital Records: Landlords must use HMRC-approved software to digitally record all property income and expenses. Manual spreadsheets alone are not sufficient unless they are linked to HMRC via bridging software.

Quarterly Updates: Instead of one annual return, landlords must submit a summary of their total income and expenses to HMRC every three months (quarterly).

Final Declaration: At the end of the tax year, a final declaration (replacing the End of Period Statement) must be submitted by the standard 31 January deadline to finalise the tax position and include any other non-property income.

Penalties: A new points-based penalty system will be introduced from April 2026 to penalise missed deadlines.
