Payment of property income tax after death of husband

My husband died in January 2024. He had a buy to let property in his name. In his will, he left everything to me, so I am now the owner of that buy to let. I have to complete a paper tax return for him from April 2023 to January 2024. After that time, does the responsibility for any income from that buy to let fall to me, so that I have to include it on my tax returns? Thanks.

Hi ,
 

Thank you for your question. Please find attached guidance regarding inheriting property which contains a link to renting out your property. Using the information you have given, you are correct in that responsibility of declaring such rental income would fall upon yourself within your Tax Return, providing it meets the criteria of Self-Assessment also linked below: Tax on property, money and shares you inherit     and Self Assessment tax returns  . Thank you .
