Annual tax on enveloped dwellings due by 30 April 2026

Author: ICAEW Insights

Published: 31 Mar 2026

MTD for income tax starts in April - are your clients ready?

From April individuals with combined gross income from sole trades or property over £50,000 must keep digital accounting records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC. 

Companies owning high-value residential property have until 30 April 2026 to file their 2026-27 annual tax on enveloped dwellings (ATED) return and pay any tax due.
ATED is an annual tax on non-natural persons (eg, companies and partnerships with at least one corporate member) with interests in UK dwellings valued at more than £500,000. It is applied for a chargeable period and is generally calculated by reference to the value of the property on the last revaluation date (1 April 2022) or the date of acquisition if later.

Next revaluation date

The next revaluation date is 1 April 2027. It is important that companies and their advisers are aware of this as an increase in the value of a property could bring a company within scope of ATED, or place the property in a higher band for calculating the charge, from April 2028. HMRC’s guidance includes information on how to value a property.

ATED rates

The 2026/27 chargeable period will begin on 1 April 2026 and will end on 31 March 2027 The amounts due are as follows:

Value of the property ATED due
£500,001 to £1,000,000 £4,600
£1,000,001 to £2,000,000 £9,450
£2,000,001 to £5,000,000 £32,200
£5,000,001 to £10,000,000 £75,450
£10,000,001 to £20,000,000 £151,450
More than £20m £303,450

Returns and payment 

Companies within scope of the ATED at the beginning of the 2026/27 chargeable period, must submit a return and pay any tax due by 30 April 2026. Companies coming within scope of the rules at a later date have 30 days from that date to meet their obligations.  

Reliefs are available that may reduce or extinguish the company’s liability to ATED, including qualifying property rental business relief. The reliefs are not given automatically and must be claimed in the annual return or in a relief declaration return, also by 30 April 2026. One relief declaration return can be used for multiple properties that are eligible for the same category of relief. 

The ATED return and the relief declaration return can be submitted online using HMRC’s ATED service.
