How to calculate your qualifying income
Add up your total rental income for the tax year before expenses. HMRC will use your 2024-25 tax year income to determine if you need to comply by April 2026. If you're close to a threshold, it's worth preparing early.

“Thought I was all set until August told me I hadn’t shared the ‘How to Rent’ guide. Turns out that alone could’ve voided my ability to evict.”
