Tax deadline approaching if you own residential properties not in a personal name

14 April 2025

A non-natural person (normally a company) that owns residential properties, may need to complete a Return to declare the “Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings” – also known as ATED.

The deadline for completing the ATED Return is 30 April 2025.

This will be a Return for the period 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 and is required where the company owns an interest in a UK residential property valued at over £500,000 at 1 April 2022 (or acquisition if later).

If you are unsure of the value of any residential properties owned by your company, then a formal valuation may be required. We can introduce a suitable surveyor, if required.

The charge due is based on the property value, as below:

 

Property value
Annual charge

Between £500k and £1m
£4,450

Between £1m and £2m
£9,150

Between £2m and £5m
£31,050

Between £5m and £10m
£72,700

Between £10m and £20m
£145,950

More than £20m
£292,350

 

Some reliefs may be available, such as when the property is used in a property rental business but care is needed when related parties occupy the property.

In addition, if a relief is due, an ATED Return is still required to be submitted to HMRC with the claim for relief.
