How UK Rental Income is Taxed

  1. Personal Allowance – Landlords are entitled to a maximum of £12,570 tax-free (2023/2024), depending on their total income.
  2. Income Tax Rates – The rental income is charged at standard UK income tax rates:
  • Basic Rate (20%) – Between £12,571 and £50,270.
  • Higher Rate (40%) – £50,271 to £125,140.
  • Additional Rate (45%) – More than £125,140.
  1. Allowable Expenses – Landlords can deduct the following expenses:
  • Mortgage interest (limited tax relief)
