HMRC Let Property Campaign: What Landlords Need to Know in 2025

HMRC continues to ramp up efforts to crack down on undeclared rental income, and the Let Property Campaign remains a key tool in their arsenal. If you're a landlord who hasn’t disclosed all your rental earnings, now is the time to act. By making a voluntary disclosure, you can avoid harsher penalties, interest, or even prosecution.
At Tax Dispute Experts, we help landlords make disclosures correctly and minimise penalties.
What is the HMRC Let Property Campaign?
The Let Property Campaign (LPC) is a long-running HMRC initiative allowing individual landlords to declare previously undisclosed rental income. It’s open to:
Accidental landlords
Buy-to-let investors
Airbnb and short-term rental hosts
Landlords with overseas property income
Disclosures made under the campaign usually result in lower penalties — often just 10–20% of tax owed.
Why is the campaign still active in 2025?
While the campaign launched in 2013, it’s still ongoing. HMRC receives data from letting agents, tenancy deposit schemes, mortgage lenders, and online platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com — making it easier than ever to spot non-compliance.
What’s the risk if you ignore it?
If HMRC contacts you before you disclose, you’ll lose the opportunity to benefit from lower penalties. You could face:
Penalties of up to 100% of unpaid tax (200% for offshore income)
Late payment interest
Criminal investigation in serious cases
