I bought a flat back in 1987 and then started renting it out in 1989. I didn't make any profits for the next 4 years (due to maintenance costs etc.)and consequently I never declared the income. In total this is now aprox £13,000 after expenses for the entire rental period.
The flat became vacant in 2001. The IR has always seen this property as my PPR which it was not as I was living elsewhere in another property which I bought in 1991.
I realize I should have declared this and want to put the situation right, but am afraid of the penalties as I would have made incorrect declarations on my tax returns for so many years.
Has anyone got any advice for me on how to put things right.
