Not entirely sure what your rental income is costing you in tax?
Landlord tax has become considerably more complex over the last several years. Section 24 has changed what you can offset against rental income, Making Tax Digital is on its way for property investors, and if you hold properties in different structures the picture gets messier still. Most landlords do not have a clear view of their actual tax liability until well into the new year — by which point there is little to be done about it.
- Uncertain what Section 24 means for your actual tax bill this year
- Rental income spread across properties with no consolidated picture of profit
- Self Assessment filed late or in a rush, with expenses probably missed
What sorted looks like for landlords
Your rental income is tracked, your allowable expenses are captured properly, and your tax position is visible months before it becomes a deadline. Compliance handled, planning ongoing.
- Section 24 modelled clearly so you know your true net tax position in advance
- All properties consolidated — one clean view of income, costs and profit each month
- Self Assessment filed accurately and on time, with all legitimate expenses claimed
- Fixed monthly fee agreed upfront — no surprise bills at year-end
What landlords and property owners say
Fast turnaround, transparent fees and an accountant who already understands what lenders and HMRC need from a property investor.
I worked with Daniel at DG Accountancy to review and sign off my sole trader accounts for a time-sensitive mortgage application, and the service was excellent. Daniel was extremely responsive, clear, and professional throughout. He understood exactly what the lender required, turned everything around very quickly without cutting corners. Communication was straightforward and reassuring, which made a potentially stressful part of the mortgage process much easier. Fees were transparent, turnaround was fast, and the work was done thoroughly and accurately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Daniel to anyone needing reliable accountancy support, particularly where deadlines really matter.
Daniel was very helpful with my books and tax return. He offered great advise and insight in how to manage my books better and more efficiently. His knowledge in tax law and what can be used for expenses really helped with saving money where I could. As a sole trader it’s really hard to keep on top of things and have now asked Dan to do monthly books for me. His rates are extremely good compared to some other accountants out there and I get more for my money.
Everything a landlord needs, covered
From basic Self Assessment through to portfolio-level management accounts and tax planning, the service scales with how many properties you hold and how complex your structure is.
Rental Income Tax and Self Assessment
Your rental income, allowable expenses and finance costs are calculated correctly and filed on time. Section 24 restrictions are factored in from the start so you know your actual liability — not a rough guess — well before January. Property sales and capital gains are handled alongside income tax where needed.
Included as standardHMO, Holiday Let and Portfolio Accounting
Multiple properties, different tenancy types and mixed income streams are consolidated into one clean set of records each month. HMO licensing costs, holiday let running expenses and furnished holiday let rules are applied correctly. You see actual profit per property, not just a bank balance.
Specialist landlord supportTax Planning and Structuring Advice
Whether you hold properties personally, through a limited company or are considering a change of structure, the tax implications are laid out plainly before you commit.

What makes this different from a general practice
Most accountants can file a Self Assessment. Fewer understand what Section 24 actually does to a landlord’s tax position, or how HMO income should be structured.
Property tax understood from the start
You will not need to explain how rental income is taxed, what allowable expenses apply to an HMO, or how furnished holiday let rules differ from a standard tenancy. That knowledge is already in place before your first conversation. The questions you get asked are about your situation, not about how your industry works.
Questions answered the day you ask
Landlords often have time-sensitive questions — a tenant leaving, a refinance in progress, a property sale with a CGT deadline. DG Accountancy is known for fast replies, which matters considerably when the answer affects a decision you are making this week rather than at year-end.
Your tax position visible in advance
Rather than discovering your tax bill in January, you know what it is likely to be by October at the latest. That means there is time to act — making pension contributions, timing a disposal, or simply setting aside the right amount. Knowing where you stand each month is, frankly, how it should work.
Up and running in four steps
Most landlord clients are fully onboarded within a week. The process is straightforward and the majority of it happens on our side.

“Fantastic service provided. Thank you.”
Things landlords usually ask first
Do you understand how Section 24 affects a landlord’s tax position?
Yes. The restriction on mortgage interest relief — phased in from 2017 and now fully in effect — means many landlords pay significantly more tax than they expect, particularly those in higher rate bands. The interaction with personal allowances, child benefit thresholds and other income sources is something that gets reviewed as part of the initial conversation, not discovered at year-end.
What does landlord accounting with DG Accountancy actually cost?
Pricing depends on how many properties you hold, whether you are a sole investor or operating through a limited company, and which services you need — Self Assessment only, full bookkeeping, or management accounts. All quotes are fixed monthly fees agreed upfront in writing. There are no hourly rates and no invoice at year-end that is larger than discussed.
My rental records are not in great shape. Can you still help?
This is fairly common. Landlords who have been self-managing their accounts often find years of rental income, expenses and finance costs sitting in a spreadsheet or a drawer rather than a proper ledger. Catch-up bookkeeping is handled at the start of onboarding, and the cost for doing so is discussed and agreed before any work begins. Most clients start in considerably better shape within the first month.
Is there a minimum contract or lock-in period?
No. The service runs monthly and there is no long-term commitment required. If it is not working for any reason, you give notice and leave with your records up to date and correctly formatted. The aim is to make the service worth staying for, not to make leaving difficult.
Do you work with landlords who hold properties through a limited company?
Yes. Property holding companies have become more common since Section 24, and the accounting and tax obligations differ meaningfully from personal ownership — corporation tax, director’s Self Assessment, dividends and the potential for mortgage complications all need to be factored in. Whether you already hold through a company or are considering a transfer, the options and their tax implications can be walked through clearly before any decision is made.
Will Making Tax Digital affect me as a landlord, and when?
MTD for Income Tax is being extended to landlords with rental income above £50,000 from April 2026, and to those above £30,000 from April 2027. In practice this means quarterly digital reporting to HMRC rather than a single annual return. Clients are set up on Xero from the start, which means the transition to MTD compliance is handled as a matter of course rather than a last-minute scramble.
Stop guessing what your rental income costs you in tax.
A free discovery call takes 20 minutes and you will leave it knowing your likely tax position, what filing deadlines apply and what a fixed-fee service would cost for your portfolio.
