  Land Registry, and were LET during the year in this part.

  Separate Property Tax Returns will be issued in respect of the jointly owned or co-owned
  properties. If you have not received a Property Tax Return for any let property that is jointly
  owned or co-owned by you, please fill in Form IR6129 or inform this Department in writing.
Item point
The property location should be the full address as registered in the Land Registry.

The rental income should be the gross rental income for the whole letting period in the
  year, not monthly rental. [ item (3) of paper return ]
Item point
Apart from rates paid by you and irrecoverable rent, you are not entitled to any further
  deductions such as Government rent, management fee, renovation or refurbishment
  expenses and utilities charges, etc. A statutory allowance for repairs and outgoings at 20%
  of the assessable value will be automatically granted in the assessment. [ item (4) of paper return ]

  let during the year, supply details of other properties in the same format on a separate
  sheet. Then enter the TOTAL no. of properties let, amount of the rates paid by you
  and irrecoverable rent and gross rental income after deductions of all properties let in boxes 8 , 9 and 10 respectively. For Internet Filing, you may report up to three properties and supply details of other properties in the 'Supplementary Information on Tax Return' text box.
Item point

  you should declare income from the properties owned by the deceased in the return
  issued to you in the capacity of the executor of the estate of the deceased owner,
  not in your own return.
