How to add property co-owner details to your tax return
Why do I need to add a co-owner to my tax return?
If your rental property is jointly owned, both yourself and your partner will need to complete a tax return.
As a result, TaxScouts allows you to specify that your property is jointly owned and enables you to include the co-owner’s details.
This ensures that both you and your partner get the same accountant, who is already familiar with your shared property, expenses, and has already completed the relevant tax calculations.
Step 1
Log into your TaxScouts account and select the tax year you are looking to file a tax return for.
Step 2
If your main reason to do a self assessment is property income, select “I earned income from property”.
Make sure you select all the reasons why you need to prepare your tax return:
Step 3
Next select all your sources of income, and for property select “I earned income from property”.
Next click “Continue”.
Step 4
Under the property section, answer the “Is your property jointly owned with someone else?” with “Yes” and then continue answering the property related questions.
Step 5
After you’ve completed the remaining questions and submitted your tax return to your assigned accountant, click on your name on the top right-hand side and select “profile” from the drop-down menu.
Step 6
Select “Co-owner details” from the tab on the left and then continue to enter their details:
- their first and last names
- their email address.
