Living outside the UK does not necessarily mean you have no UK accounting or tax reporting responsibilities.
If you live overseas but own UK property, receive UK rental income, have UK business interests or retain other UK financial interests, managing your affairs from abroad can become more complicated. Keeping accurate records and understanding your UK accounting and reporting requirements can help keep your financial affairs organised.
Adept Accountax provides accounting support for non-residents with UK financial interests. As Chartered Certified Accountants, we can help with UK property accounts, Self Assessment, rental income records, bookkeeping, Making Tax Digital where applicable and ongoing accounting support.
Whether you have recently moved abroad, have always lived outside the UK or are managing UK assets while based overseas, we can help keep your UK financial records organised.
Who We Support
We work with individuals living outside the UK who have ongoing UK financial or property interests, including:
Your accounting and reporting responsibilities can depend on your circumstances, the type of income you receive and the assets or activities you have in the UK.
Managing UK Finances
Managing UK finances from another country can create additional practical challenges.
You may need to keep track of UK rental income, property expenses, financial records and reporting deadlines while also managing your financial affairs in your country of residence.
UK Property
If you live outside the UK but own UK rental property, you may still have UK accounting and tax reporting responsibilities.
Keeping accurate records of rental income and property expenses can help ensure the information needed for UK reporting is available.
UK Income
Non-residents can continue to receive income from UK sources after moving overseas.
We can help you keep your UK income records organised and prepare the financial information required for relevant accounting and reporting.
Financial Records
Maintaining accurate records of UK income, expenses and financial transactions is important when preparing accounts and tax returns.
We can help keep your UK financial information organised throughout the year.
Multiple UK Properties
If you own several UK properties, maintaining consistent records across your portfolio can become increasingly difficult.
We can help you organise rental income and expenditure and maintain clear accounting records for your UK property interests.
Changing Circumstances
Your accounting requirements can change when you move abroad, return to the UK, purchase property, sell an investment or change your UK financial interests.
Ongoing accounting support can help you keep your records organised as your circumstances develop.

Our focus is on keeping your UK financial records accurate and organised and helping you understand the accounting and reporting requirements relevant to your circumstances.
Non-Resident Landlords
UK Property Accounts
If you own rental property in the UK while living overseas, we can help maintain and prepare the relevant property accounting information, including rental income and property-related expenses.
Self Assessment
Non-resident landlords may need to report their UK property income through Self Assessment, depending on their circumstances.
We can help prepare the relevant financial information and tax return based on your circumstances.
NRLS
The Non-Resident Landlord Scheme can apply where a landlord has UK rental income and their usual place of abode is outside the UK.
Letting agents generally have responsibilities under the scheme, while tenants can also have responsibilities in certain circumstances. HMRC can approve some non-resident landlords to receive rental income without tax being deducted at source.
We can help you maintain the financial information relevant to your UK rental activities and provide accounting support relating to the reporting requirements that apply to you.
Rental Income
We can help keep records of UK rental income and relevant property expenses so that your property accounts and reporting are based on accurate information.
Bookkeeping
Managing UK financial records from overseas can be inconvenient, particularly where you have multiple properties or regular transactions.
We can provide ongoing bookkeeping support to help keep your UK rental income and expenditure records organised.
Property Portfolios
If you own more than one UK property, maintaining accurate financial information across your portfolio can become increasingly important.
We can help you monitor rental income and expenditure and keep your UK property records organised.
Property Sales
Selling UK property while living overseas can have UK tax and reporting implications.
We can help you organise the relevant property records and financial information associated with a property disposal.
Making Tax Digital

For the 2026–27 tax year, individuals with qualifying income of more than £50,000 generally fall within the first phase of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, subject to the applicable rules and exemptions.
Property income can form part of the qualifying income considered for Making Tax Digital.
Where Making Tax Digital applies, individuals need to keep digital records and use compatible software to meet the relevant reporting requirements.
We can help you understand whether Making Tax Digital applies to your UK property income and support you with the digital accounting and record-keeping processes involved.
