Property Tax Dates
This feature is courtesy of RITA4RENT, the RLA's specialist landlord tax advisors.
We cannot stress enough the importance of filing your taxes on time. With landlords firmly in the sights of HMRC, the last thing any landlord wants is to miss a deadline and then be either penalised or targeted under the Let Property Campaign, or worse still, investigated.
In recent years, HMRC have become more aggressive in penalising those who file and/or pay their taxes late, and in light of this, we summarise below a selection of dates for your diary in 2021/22. This should ensure you are aware of the full position, and that no deadlines are missed!

| 30th April 2022 | If you missed the 2020/21 online filing deadline, this is the deadline for filing your self-assessment tax return to avoid the £10 per day penalties. |
| 31st July 2022 | For those who are liable to "payments on account," this is when the second payment is due towards the 2021/22 tax year. |
