NRL stands for the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme. It applies where a landlord receives rental income from a UK property but their usual place of abode is outside the UK.

Landlords can apply to receive their rental income without tax deducted using HMRC’s NRL1 application. This does not mean the rental income is tax-free: the landlord remains responsible for declaring it and paying any tax due through Self Assessment.
