Holiday let and Airbnb accountants

Specialist accountants for holiday lets and Airbnb

A holiday let can still be a strong property business. Higher nightly rates, strong yields in the right location, and a property you actually want to own. The tax is what changed.

Since April 2025 your holiday let is taxed like any other residential property, so getting the return right matters more than it used to. Provestor handles the tax for holiday let owners, however you own today and whatever you decide next.

What changed, and what didn't

Holiday lets still stack up.

The tax just needs more care.

The furnished holiday let regime was abolished from 6 April 2025 for Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, and from 1 April 2025 for Corporation Tax. Holiday lets, Airbnbs and serviced accommodation are now taxed like any other residential property.

That means Section 24 on your mortgage interest, no more capital allowances on furnishings, and profit that follows ownership shares. For a lot of owners the bill has gone up, and the first return without holiday let status is the one where it shows. None of it changes why you bought: the yield, the demand, the asset. It just means the tax is worth handing to someone who does property every day. For the detail on how it all works now, read the furnished holiday let guide.

Already own a holiday let?

Your tax return.

Prepared and filed for you.

If you own your holiday let personally, the income goes on your Self Assessment, and from April 2026 many owners move onto Making Tax Digital for Income Tax as well. Both are easier to hand over than to second-guess.

A property tax specialist prepares your return, puts the finance cost in the right place so the Section 24 relief lands correctly, splits jointly owned profit the way HMRC expects, and files it for you. When Making Tax Digital applies to you, the same team keeps the quarterly updates and final declaration on track. You review, they file, and you know it's right.

Deciding what to do?

A tax consultation, before you commit

Not sure whether to buy, whether to hold, or whether a holiday let belongs in your own name or a limited company? That's a numbers question, and it's worth answering before you act rather than after.

Book a one-to-one consultation with a property tax specialist and work through your own position: how the let is taxed now, what personal versus company ownership would mean for you, and what a sale or a restructure would trigger. You leave knowing where you stand, with the figures behind it, not a generic rule of thumb.

Starting up?

Set up your holiday let company the right way

If a limited company is the right home for your holiday let, the set-up matters: the structure, the share split, and getting it trading without a false start. Provestor starts up your company, typically within 48 hours.

Company ownership suits some holiday let owners and not others, which is why it follows a consultation rather than a sales pitch. When it's right for you, the Advisor plan is the home for it: day-to-day accounting, your year-end accounts and company tax return, and tax advice from a property specialist built in, not charged by the hour. Get it set up properly from the start and there's nothing costly to unpick later.
