    Is BTL profit/loss done on a cash accountancy basis?

    I have some management fees for a flat I own, that have been mounting up - since 1.1.2018(!) - and I only just got a bill for 2018 thru 2019. The bill is itemised in 6-month chunks.

    If I just pay this off, will that just count as a service charge for this tax year? I have only received a single invoice dated september 2019 though each 6 months is a separate line item.

    You are over thinking it.

    The bill is for September 2019 - you pay it (if you aren't going to argue it) and attach it to this year's accounts.

        So cash basis for personal BTL, bills apply when they are paid not when they are issued/received, nice and straightforward.

        IIRC with your Ltd you can choose which method i.e. you can take a dividend against invoices that haven't actually been paid if you really want to? Which is a fun topic for a new company owner to get their head around
