Not just the filings: the dedicated accountant, the contract guidance, the software, and the structure that makes property accounting actually work for you.
Single buy-to-lets, HMOs, holiday lets, mixed portfolios and property companies each raise different tax questions: the Section 24 finance cost restriction, repairs versus capital improvements, and how income is split between joint owners. Your dedicated accountant helps you get them right.
For individual landlords, mortgage interest and other finance costs are no longer deducted from rental profit. Instead you get a tax reduction worth 20% of those costs (subject to limits), which hits higher-rate taxpayers hardest. We work out the effect on your tax bill and claim the repairs and running costs you are entitled to.
If you sell a UK residential property and have Capital Gains Tax to pay, you must report and pay it within 60 days of completion. We work out the gain in advance, claim Private Residence Relief for periods you lived there, apply lettings relief only where you shared the home with a tenant, and use your annual exempt amount.
Holding rentals personally or through a limited company changes how your profit is taxed, and moving existing properties into a company can trigger Capital Gains Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax. Your accountant compares both routes on your portfolio, income tax band and plans, and explains what a move would involve before you commit.
Company-owned residential property worth over £500,000 may need an Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings return each year, even where a relief applies. Landlords living abroad fall under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, and higher Stamp Duty rates apply to additional homes and to purchases by companies. If any of these apply to you, your accountant will tell you what is needed.
FreeAgent is included in every package, worth £360 a year. Track income and costs for each property so you can see rent, mortgage interest, repairs and net cash flow per unit.
Answer a few quick questions and we'll match you to the right package, with a price tailored to your business. Takes about 60 seconds.

Having been with GoForma for nearly a year I cannot recommend them more highly.
GoForma, particularly Jordan Macey from GoForma, have been fantastic from the moment I have been with them.
If you want to get rid of most of the headache of managing your company accounts then I can't recommend GoForma enough!
I've been working with Kabir for a few weeks now and couldn't be happier.

A property tax accountant specialises in the tax and accounting needs of landlords, property investors, developers, and buy-to-let owners. They help you claim all allowable expenses, structure ownership tax-efficiently, report capital gains accurately, and file all required returns with HMRC and Companies House.
Rental income is subject to income tax after allowable expenses. Individuals pay tax at their marginal rate, while company landlords pay Corporation Tax on profits. When you sell a property, any gain above the annual exempt amount (£3,000) is taxed at 18% or 24%, depending on your income. The right ownership structure depends on your circumstances, so it is worth reviewing before you buy.
All GoForma packages are transparently priced with no hidden extras and no long-term contracts. Get an instant online quote to find the right package for your property accounting needs.
