What is the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme (NRLS)?
The Non-Resident Landlord Scheme (NRLS) is an HMRC program that applies to landlords (UK & Foreign Nationals) who live outside the UK but earn rental income from UK property.
Under the scheme:
- Without NRL approval
Letting agents or tenants must deduct basic rate tax (20%) from your rental income before paying you. - Without NRL approval
You receive your full rental income without tax deducted and declare it through your UK tax return.
Applying for NRL approval means you keep control of your tax payments, instead of having tax deducted automatically!

FAQs
Your Questions Answered
Do I need to apply if my letting agent isn’t deducting tax?
Yes! Even if your agent isn’t currently deducting tax, you are still required to register under the NRL Scheme if you’re a non-resident landlord.
Can I apply for NRL approval if I just moved abroad?
Yes! If you are no longer a UK resident but still own rental property in the UK, you can apply.
Does NRL approval mean I don’t have to pay tax?
No. You still declare your rental income through self-assessment, but you control how tax is paid, rather than having deductions made automatically. You can also claim expenses and reliefs that your letting agent cannot include when calculating your tax due, reducing your tax bill!
How long does it take to get NRL approval?
HMRC typically processes applications within 4-8 weeks. We will ensure your application is filed correctly to avoid delays.
