Landlords face an evolving tax landscape, and staying on top of changes can feel overwhelming. In episode 103 of Lets Talk, James Edwards, Co-Founder and Tax Director at Anderson and Edwards Ltd, shares his perspective on the challenges property investors encounter and how to prepare for them.
Understanding Making Tax Digital (MTD)
One major focus of the conversation is the government’s Making Tax Digital initiative. We discuss why it was introduced, what it means in practice, and the implications for landlords, particularly with the new quarterly submission deadlines. James also addresses exemptions, potential hidden benefits, and steps landlords should take to be ready for the 2026 rollout.
Beyond MTD, we explore broader tax considerations, including incorporation versus personal ownership, allowable expenses often overlooked, HMRC inspections, the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, and recent updates to Capital Gains Tax. James also shares his approach to supporting landlords in a changing tax environment, as well as his love for rugby and their sponsorship of Watsonian’s rugby club and what it means to them.
For property investors looking to stay compliant and informed, this episode offers practical advice, thoughtful insights, and a closer look at the evolving tax landscape for landlords.
