The Let Property Campaign – How we Make it Work for You

There are many reasons property tax may go unpaid, either in part or in full. The Let Property Campaign was designed to be a lenient way for rental property owners and landlords to pay what is owed in property tax.

If HMRC were to investigate and discover unpaid property tax, the penalties could mean financial ruin for many developers, landlords and rental property owners. The campaign offers a better option, that much is clear, but without proper guidance you could still end up paying more in tax.

As with all regulation, liability and compliance measures that affect our clients, we are current and knowledgeable. Taking a chance on navigating any tax reduction program could still adversely affect your investment.

Our dedicated property tax specialists will assess your liability, unpaid amounts and overall tax situation – leaving nothing to chance.

If you have questions about the program, reach out to us. Our services go beyond the everyday bookkeeping and tax planning.

Our experts have reduced tax bills and shrunk administrative burdens for clients in your situation many times before. Avoid the headache, and work with an expert from our team to make sure dealings with HMRC are fair for you.
