Who are Non Resident Landlords (NRL)

Non-resident landlords are persons who have UK rental income, and whose ‘usual place of abode’ is outside the UK.

Landlords, for the purposes of the Non-resident Landlords (NRL) Scheme, include individuals, companies and trustees.

In the case of partnerships, each partner is treated as a separate landlord in respect of their share of the rental income.

Non resident landlords can apply to HMRC to receive UK rental income without deduction of UK tax - individuals.

What is the Non-resident Landlords Scheme?

The Non-resident Landlords (NRL) Scheme is a scheme for taxing the UK rental income of persons whose ‘usual place of abode’ is outside the UK (see paragraph 2.3 below). For convenience, these guidance notes refer to such persons as ‘non-resident landlords.

The Scheme applies to UK rental income paid to non-resident landlords from 6 April 1996. Different arrangements apply to UK rental income paid before 6 April 1996.

Letting agents of a non-resident landlord must:

  • deduct tax from the landlord’s UK rental income; and
  • pay the tax to HMRC’s Accounts Office, Shipley.

Where there is no letting agent, tenants who pay rent of more than £100 a week to a non-resident landlord must:

  • deduct tax from the landlord’s UK rental income; and
  • pay the tax to HMRC’s Accounts Office, Shipley

Tenants who pay rent of £100 a week or less do not have to operate the scheme unless they are told to do so by HMRC

Letting agents must operate the scheme regardless of the amount of the rent they collect - even if it is £100 a week or less.

For the purposes of the NRL Scheme, the year runs from 1 April to the following 31 March. Letting agents and tenants who have to operate the Scheme must account for tax each quarter - that is, for the three-month periods ending on 30 June, 30 September, 31 December and 31 March.

Letting agents and tenants do not have to deduct tax from the rental income of a non-resident landlord if HMRC has told them in writing that the landlord is approved to receive the rental income with no tax deducted.
