About RentTaxCheck
Who runs RentTaxCheck, how we check every tax figure against GOV.UK and HMRC, how the site is funded and how to report a mistake.
RentTaxCheck gives free, accurate tax calculators and plain-English guides to people who let property in the UK.
Why this site exists
Most UK landlords aren't professionals. They're employees, retirees and small business owners with one or two properties. The rules that apply to them change every year, and from April 2027 rental profit has its own tax rates for the first time. We built RentTaxCheck so those landlords can get quick answers they can check for themselves.
Who we are
RentTaxCheck is written and maintained by RentTaxCheck Editorial Team. We are an independent publisher with no connection to HMRC, any lender, letting agent or software company.
How we check our figures
- Every rate comes from official sources: GOV.UK, HMRC guidance, Finance Acts and Budget documents.
- Each calculator shows its working and its assumptions.
- We test every calculator against worked examples before publishing changes.
- We update affected pages within days of a Budget or announcement.
How the site is funded
RentTaxCheck is free and is funded by advertising. Advertisers have no influence over our content. We don't sell data, and calculator inputs never leave your browser.
