Request

(1) The number of taxpayers who answered 'Yes' to Question 4 (UK Property) on page TR2 of the SA100 form in each of the last five tax years. How many of these returns were submitted by individuals in the Non-resident Landlords Scheme?

(2) The number of companies that submitted an SA700 non-resident company return in each of the last five tax years.

(3) The amount of tax paid by non-resident landlords in each of the last five tax years.

Response

Question 1

All taxpayers who answered 'Yes' to Question 4 on page TR2 of the SA100 should
have submitted an SA105 (UK property) supplementary page. The number of
taxpayers who submitted the supplementary page (SA105) was:

Tax year

Number

2006-07

1,460,000

2007-08

1,580,000

2008-09

1,700,000

2009-10

1,820,000

2010-11

1,930,000

The figures for recent years include a small adjustment to allow for returns not yet
received.

Of these cases, the numbers that are in the Non-resident Landlords Scheme is unknown. However these are likely to be only a small proportion of the total (5 per cent or less) since only 5 per cent reported a non-UK address.

Question 2

The number of companies that submitted an SA700 non-resident company return was:

Tax year

Number

2006-07

14,400

2007-08

14,700

2008-09

14,900

2009-10

15,700

2010-11

16,200

These figures reflect returns received to date. Returns are sometimes received some considerable time after the filing deadline, so the numbers for recent years may yet increase appreciably.

Question 3

The total tax liabilities of non-resident (company) landlords submitting SA700 returns was:

Tax year

Liability

2006-07

£230 million

2007-08

£231 million

2008-09

£238 million

2009-10

£308 million

2010-11

£350 million

These figures reflect returns received to date, and so here also the numbers for recent years may yet increase appreciably.
