The scheme requires UK letting agents to deduct basic rate tax from any rent they collect for non-resident Landlords. If non-resident Landlords don't have UK letting agents acting for them, it is their responsibility to inform the Inland Revenue of rental income received, and to pay any tax due. Non-resident Landlords can apply at any time for approval to receive rent with no tax deducted.
