Video coming soon

The video for this page is coming soon. The steps below describe everything it will show, in the same order.

Before you start

  • The quarter's period has ended. A quarter can be sent once its period has ended.
  • The rent you received in the period is recorded as Income transactions for your foreign property business.

Step by step

  1. Record the rent you receive from property abroad as Income transactions, with the business at the top of the screen set to Foreign Property.
  2. Open Submissions. Your foreign property business has its own row of four quarters, each with its period and deadline.
  3. Select the quarter you want to send. A quarter can be sent once its period has ended.
  4. Check the figures: rental income, other property income, foreign tax paid, the expenses for the period and the net profit.
  5. Select Submit, then confirm. EasyTaxer sends the update to HMRC and shows a confirmation when HMRC has accepted it.
