Who it covers

Do you need to use the Let Property Campaign?

If you have undeclared rental income from a UK property, the Let Property Campaign lets you make a voluntary disclosure to HMRC and bring your tax affairs up to date.

You have undeclared UK rental income

Many landlords fail to declare rental income without ever intending to, particularly when:

The rent was less than the mortgage payment, so it was assumed there was nothing to tax

The rent was below the personal allowance, so it was assumed there was nothing to report

The landlord moved overseas and did not realise UK tax still applied

Even where the property made a loss or produced very little income, HMRC still requires rental income to be reported.

You have received an HMRC nudge letter

Many people start the disclosure process after a nudge letter lands. HMRC sends these when it believes you may have undeclared UK rental income, encouraging you to review your affairs and disclose if necessary.

They are not an accusation, and they are not a formal enquiry, but they do mean you are already on HMRC’s radar, and the window to act on your own terms is open now rather than indefinitely.

Ignoring a nudge letter increases the risk of higher penalties if HMRC goes on to open a formal investigation.

I have been doing the accounting and filing myself and just don’t feel competent or confident. Emma and GTC sorted it out, filed the new SA and reviewed the previous year’s documents in the space of a week.

How it works

Notify, then ninety days

The clock only starts when you notify, which is why most of the work happens before that point, not after it.

Before

Preparation

Records gathered, income and expenses reconstructed, and the likely outcome established before anything is filed.

Day 0

Notification

We notify HMRC of your intention to disclose. This is the moment your disclosure becomes unprompted.

Day 1–90

Disclosure

The full disclosure prepared and submitted: tax, interest and penalties computed year by year, with the case for your behaviour set out.

Day 90

Offer & payment

Payment made, or a time-to-pay arrangement agreed. HMRC reviews, and in most cases accepts.

FAQs

Questions we get from expats about LPC disclosures

Who can help me make a Let Property Campaign disclosure to HMRC?

You can make a Let Property Campaign disclosure yourself, or a tax adviser can make it for you. The adviser notifies HMRC, you sign form COMP1a so HMRC can deal with them, and they then have 90 days to work out the tax, interest and penalty and submit the disclosure. Global Tax Consulting does this for landlords who live abroad or are moving abroad. Founder Emma McDermott ATT, formerly of Deloitte, prepares and submits every disclosure, for a fixed fee that typically ranges from £4,000 to £10,000. HMRC's Let Property Campaign helpline (0300 123 0998, or +44 300 123 0998 from abroad) can answer process questions but will not calculate what you owe.

What is the Let Property Campaign?

An HMRC disclosure facility for individual landlords who have not declared rental income. It gives you a structured way to bring your tax affairs up to date, and because you come forward yourself, your disclosure is treated as unprompted — which sits at the bottom of the penalty range rather than the top.

How far back does HMRC go?

It depends on why the rent was not declared. If you never told HMRC you had letting income, HMRC can go back up to 20 years. If you took reasonable care it is up to 4 years, if you were careless up to 6 years, and if you deliberately paid too little up to 20 years. In practice the number of years is also limited by when you started letting.

Will I be prosecuted?

Criminal prosecution is rare and is generally reserved for the most serious deliberate cases. The Let Property Campaign is a civil settlement route, and coming forward voluntarily is exactly the behaviour it is designed to encourage.

What if I cannot pay it all at once?

Say so early. HMRC can agree time-to-pay arrangements, and it is far better to propose one as part of the disclosure than to submit an offer you cannot honour.

I do not have records going back that far. Can I still disclose?

Yes. Disclosures are routinely built from bank statements, letting agent summaries and reasonable estimates where records are genuinely gone. What matters is that the approach is honest, consistent and explained.

How long does the whole thing take?

Once you notify, you have 90 days to submit the disclosure and pay. Most of the work happens before notification — we usually want the numbers substantially built before the clock starts.

Does this apply if I live abroad?

Yes. HMRC’s guide says you can use the Let Property Campaign if you live abroad, or plan to for more than six months, and rent out a property in the UK.
