“HMRC don’t know that I receive rental income”

If you have and never told them, be aware that they are increasing their focus on you!

You may ask “how they would know?”

That’s easy as they have access to the Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme. So, they will find out about your property income from there.

You have two choices:

1. Ignore your obligations but note that when HMRC do catch up, you could end up paying penalties up to 100% as well as the tax due. They have the power to go back 20 years! Or

2. Take control now and declare the income via the HM Revenue & Customs Let Property Campaign. Using this Campaign is the best way to bring your taxes up to date.
