This guidance note summarises the position where a company has an investment in property and is therefore subject to corporation tax on income from property held as a fixed asset. For details of the taxation of property income for individuals, see the Taxation of property income for individuals guidance note and for a comparison of the difference between holding a property as an investment or for trading purposes, see the Property investment or trading? guidance note.

Property receipts

For corporation tax purposes, rental profits from land and buildings are categorised and pooled as either:

  1. β€’

    a UK property business, or

  2. β€’

    an overseas property business, see the Overseas property businesses for companies guidance note

  3. β€’

    furnished holiday let (FHL) businesses are distinguished further into UK and EEA FHL businesses. These are calculated and reported separately, although it should be noted that the furnished holiday let tax regime is being abolished from 1 April 2025 after which date property receipts from previous FHL properties will be included within UK or overseas
