MTD for Landlords: Your Complete Compliance Solution

What Making Tax Digital Means for You

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax Self Assessment is HMRC’s initiative requiring digital record-keeping and quarterly submissions. For landlords with gross property income over £50,000 (from the 2024/25 tax year), compliance becomes mandatory from April 2026.

This isn’t about your profit after expenses—it’s your total rental income. Own multiple properties? They all count together.

📌 The £50,000 threshold is based on gross qualifying income from your 2024/25 tax year—not profit. Combined rental income from all properties counts, regardless of your net position after expenses.

The Key Changes

  • Quarterly digital submissions to HMRC (not just annual)
  • MTD-compatible software required (Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent)
  • No more HMRC online portal access for those in scope
  • Points-based penalty system for late submissions
