Compliance: Landlords + Bank Reconciliation
When landlords prepare bank statements for bank reconciliation, specific compliance requirements apply.
- Landlords must report rental income on their self-assessment tax return and can only claim mortgage interest as a basic rate tax credit since Section 24 restrictions. Records must be kept for 5 years after the 31 January submission deadline. Deposit protection scheme compliance also requires clear financial records.
- Legal basis: No specific statute, but FRS 102 and Companies Act 2006 require accurate financial records; auditors test bank reconciliations as a core audit procedure under ISA 500
