HMRC Form 17, Declaration of beneficial interests in joint property and income (under section 837 of the Income Tax Act 2007), is the official UK tax form used by married couples and civil partners living together to notify HM Revenue & Customs that they own a jointly held property (such as a buy-to-let rental property) in unequal beneficial shares (for example, 90% / 10% as tenants in common) and want the rental income taxed according to those actual shares rather than HMRC’s default 50/50 split.

Under section 836 of the UK Income Tax Act 2007, HMRC automatically taxes income from property held jointly by a married couple or civil partners living together on a strict 50:50 basis — even if one spouse contributed 95% of the purchase price or holds 99% of the beneficial equity under a Declaration of Trust (Deed of Trust). To override the 50:50 rule and split rental profits in line with your true beneficial ownership (e.g. allocating 90% or 99% to a lower-rate taxpayer spouse), both spouses must hold the property as tenants in common, execute a valid Declaration of Trust, sign HMRC Form 17, and ensure it reaches HMRC within 60 days of the second signature along with proof of unequal beneficial ownership. JustFill lets UK landlords, property accountants, and conveyancing solicitors complete HMRC Form 17 online in seconds and export a clean, print-ready PDF.
The official HMRC Form 17 guidance and form are published on GOV.UK at gov.uk/government/publications/income-tax-declaration-of-beneficial-interests-in-joint-property-and-income-17.
