Landlords must prepare for Making Tax Digital changes
ResolvPoint View
By Mark Donaldson · what this edition means for you
In this edition, we focus on two significant developments that private landlords and letting agents need to consider. The forthcoming Making Tax Digital initiative is set to change our reporting and tax obligations for those earning over £30,000. This shift will require us to adapt our financial practices, making it vital that we stay informed and prepare for how our income from private rentals is managed.
Additionally, with 30-year gilt yields exceeding 6%, it’s crucial for us to assess the risks in our property portfolios, particularly if fixed-rate mortgages are due to expire soon. This changing financial landscape calls for a thorough evaluation of refinancing options and our overall affordability to safeguard our investments and ensure continued success in the rental market.
