The Worldwide Disclosure Facility (WDF) is a digital service that HMRC provides. It enables taxpayers to voluntarily report any non-compliance with offshore regulations regarding their international financial interests. This facility is open to individuals, companies, and trustees, regardless of whether they are residents in the UK.
Through the Common Reporting Standard (CRS), HMRC obtains financial data from more than 100 countries. This data is used to cross-reference with the financial declarations provided by taxpayers in the UK, to identify possible non-compliance to offshore activities.
Therefore, despite the WDF not providing the same level of leniency as the previous LDF, it stands as your best course of action. Consider it as taking timely action to prevent potentially greater future consequences. Participating in the worldwide disclosure initiative can help individuals ensure their international financial matters are compliant with tax regulations.
What should you do if you receive a ‘nudge’ letter?
If HMRC directly sends you a letter, remember not to ignore the correspondence, since there might be information about your offshore interests, and they suspect irregularities in your UK tax matters. Experience peace of mind with HMRC disclosure services and ensure stability in offshore compliance.
Lanop Accountants, with its dedicated experts in Tax Compliance and Resolution, are well-prepared to guide you through the WDF process. They have a proven record of successfully assisting clients in resolving offshore non-compliance matters. By collaborating with Lanop Accountants, you can approach the WDF process confidently, knowing you have a dedicated team supporting your disclosure journey.
HMRC disclosure penalties are imposed for:
For a prompted FTC disclosure, the maximum penalty is 200% of unpaid tax. With a complete and accurate disclosure, this can be reduced to 150%. For an unprompted FTC disclosure, the minimum penalty is 100% of unpaid tax, if you make a complete and accurate disclosure.
The Worldwide Disclosure Facility, abbreviated as WDF, represents a voluntary disclosure procedure to HMRC for individuals and entities liable for UK tax obligations related to offshore affairs.
You are eligible to make a disclosure for all tax years up to and including 2021-2022. If you have received a tax return for that specific year or any year starting from 2019-2020 onwards, which remains unfiled, you must fill out the respective return separately and should not include these tax years in this disclosure form.
The client had nine BTL properties of which only one was jointly owned with his wife. He had been declaring all his rental income throughout these years. Upon contacting Lanop, he was informed that he had been declaring full rental income even for his jointly owned property. In practice, the jointly owned property had to be declared by his wife as her share of rental income separately and the disclosure needed to be made through Let Property Campaign.

The Let Property Campaign (LPC) is an initiative by HMRC to help landlords resolve any past tax issues related to their rental income. The LPC provides a way for landlords to come forward and disclose any unpaid taxes, with favorable settlement terms compared to potential HMRC investigations. This approach often results in minimal penalties if the disclosure is accurate and complete.
