UK Property

Overview

For the purposes of MTD,  HMRC has split the UK property income into two types; furnished holiday let and other property.

If an individual has a UK property business, the HMRC requires data in the form of update periods, which must be sent to them in intervals of no longer than 3 months. (These update periods can be submitted more frequently if desired).

Where a user has both FHL property and other property, the user will be required to make separate submissions for each property type.

Adjustments and Allowances is an optional submission and is not required by the HMRC in order to meet the individuals yearly tax commitments. If individual does in fact have data within this submission it can be submitted at any point within the year. However, it is advisable to submit with the final update period.

Once all quarterly obligation for the year have been met, an end of period statement must be submitted in order to finalise the property details for the year. A single EOPS submission is made for BOTH Property types. The ‘Confirm and Submit’ option within IRIS will be disabled until all the quarterly obligations are shown as ‘Obligations met’ within the obligation table.

 

What are Update periods?

Periods are the time allocated snapshots of a client’s accounting year that are sent to HMRC. Sending a client’s information in this way means HMRC receives a more up to date understanding of a client’s tax position and the client receives a more accurate and up to date HMRC calculation.

The user can set the frequency of a client’s update periods, as long as they meet the mandated obligation windows that HMRC set.

Adjustments and Allowances

The adjustments and allowances submission reflects the year’s adjustments and allowances for each UK property. This submission, unlike that of the update periods, only needs to be submitted once for the year.

This adjustments and allowances submission does not have any impact on the obligations set for the UK property business.

What is an EOPS?

Sending an EOPS, or an End of Period Statement, represent the user’s final act and agreement with all data they have previously sent to HMRC for an individual instance.

A user can review that data in the form of the small micro computation on this screen and, when they are happy this is all correct, click ‘Confirm and Submit’ to confirm they agree with the disclaimer provided by HMRC.

Micro computation table

This table will display a calculation of all figures entered in Personal Tax for this particular income type instance and represents a smaller version of the tax calculation that can be run within Personal Tax.

Obligation table

This table displays the obligations periods that HMRC set and require to be fulfilled before a user can send their End of Period Statement (EOPS).

Update Period sidebar

The sidebar will show all of the periods for that selected income type instance. Clicking any of these will function similarly to the table above and take the user through to a new page displaying values relating to that update period.
