I am a little unsure who 'them' are HMRC or the Japanese tax office?
Sorry Should have been clearer...
"Them" being Japans tax office. I already declare everything to the UK.
I will be honest I was of the same mindset with (not) telling the Japanese tax office but have just put my buy to lets through with my Japanese tax return and got a big stonking loss. Notable business expenses that you can go against your rental income are stamp duty and mortgage interest not available in the UK any longer.

There is a lot more cooperation between the different national tax authorities so it is best to keep things above board.
That's good information there. May I ask if any of your properties were your main residence in the UK? Mine was my UK main residence.
I only have one in the UK, and the plan was to return to the UK...but like all of Baldricks cunning plans.... not quite realized.LOL

No I bought then when I was in Japan. If you want to claim the main resident capital gains tax status for your main residence I think you have to be residing in the UK. I think that was a recent change.
