If I was to ask you the following question, what would your answer be? "Do you have an idea of how much tax you will be paying for profits made in the current tax year?" Will the answer be: a) No, I will find out when my accounts are done - probably in January next year. :-) b) I have a rough idea. c) Yes! I know what both my profits are and what my tax liability will be. Unfortunately, from feedback I get, the typical answer to the question from too many landlords is a). This answer is very dangerous and can put landlords in a right pickle, especially if their rental profits are much higher than what has been anticipated.
