What you must do

5 compliance obligations under this legislation.

Risk assessment 1

Include self‑assessment in your tax return

When you submit either an annual tax on enveloped dwellings return or a return of the adjusted chargeable amount, you must work out the tax you owe (the self‑assessment) and add it to the return. You also need to state the market value of the interest for each valuation date relevant to the assessment.

Pay tax on enveloped dwellings by the filing deadline

If you owe tax on a single‑dwelling interest (an enveloped dwelling), you must pay the amount due by the filing date of the annual tax return for that property. Any extra amount shown after the return is adjusted must also be paid by the filing date of the adjusted return. If a return is amended you must pay straight away (or by the filing date if the amendment is made before then), and any HMRC assessment must be paid within 30 days of the notice.

The liability is a monetary charge; there is no prison term, but the tax authority can enforce payment.
