VAT and your rental property

When does VAT apply to a rental property?

VAT rarely applies to residential rental income — but it can apply to commercial property. Tap to see what applies to you.

Tap to see what applies to you:

  • • No VAT on residential rents — but you still pay income tax.
  • • You still need certified accounts and a Form 11 return.
  • • Claim your deductions — mortgage interest, repairs, wear and tear.

I can help you check if VAT applies, register for VAT if needed, and file your VAT returns.
