Hi I hope a property via a limited company. The company has not other business. Is the rental income in this case consider active or passive?

Hi! If your limited company solely holds property and earns rental income, this income is generally considered passive.

that is the confusing part, hope HMRC can give a clear answer. so is the holding company only receives dividends and collecting rents form investment property, is it treated as an associate company to the trading co. ???????

thank you for the reply. the situation is company a is the trading company and all its shares are held by company b, i am a director of both. Company B only has dividends income and buying properties and rented it out through agents. so I am aware that if B only has dividends, they are not associate companies. but what do you treat rental income? it is a kind of passive income as well, right? so should I treat company A and b as associates? thanks
