HMRC Self Assessment with Spanish Rental Income - Accountant Recommendations

Where are you Resident for income-tax purposes ... UK or Spain ?

UK

Hi Portet,

Have you considered doing this yourself?  It's very straightforward via HMRC's Self-assessment system and, as you're resident in the UK, you can submit it online:

They have online tutorials and if there's anything you need help with, you can call their Helpline:

open Monday to Friday 8am - 8pm and Saturday 8am - 4pm.

Kind regards,

Kim

Yes but I can't  be bothered :-)

Thanks Anyway

🤣🤣🤣

I wanted a tax assessor/accountant to do the same thing for me a few years ago, and nobody could be bothered !

I think the job was too small to interest anyone. 

As Kimmy says, it is an easy online job.

Thanks

I might have another look at it but it seemed quite complicated to my small brain. Looking at SA105 Pages UKP 1 and 2 it seemed to cover deductible expenses which I don't think I can claim from the UK HMRC (if I can't claim them from spain post Brexit) and there seemed to be nowhere to say what tax I had paid in Spain so I wasn't taxed again. 

Maybe I was looking at the wrong form / pages.

Any further pointers welcome.

Thanks again both.

Hi Portet,

The main Self-assessment form, SA100, is really straightforward - each year, I print off the 3 forms I need to submit and complete them in draft.  Although my situation is different, in so far as I'm resident in Spain, I'm registered as a Non-resident Landlord with HMRC, so I also have to complete SA105.  The first time I did it, I had the printed form in front of me, called the Helpline and they talked me through it, which boxes to complete and what information I should enter for my specific circumstances.  I'd recommend doing the same thing - they're very helpful.

The most difficult thing I found with the entire process was registering for Self-assessment.  For some reason that escapes me, HMRC give you about 3 different ways of registering, e.g. via Royal Mail.  My recommendation is to register for the "Government Gateway" and ignore any other options.

Kind regards,

Kim

My recollection is that when I registered for my "government gateway" my reference number came by post a week or two later. So just allow this in your timings.

Good luck !
