MTD for landlords, without giving up your spreadsheet

Not yet — and we won't claim otherwise. We're built specifically for HMRC's Making Tax Digital for Income Tax requirements and are working through HMRC's software recognition process ahead of launch. We'll update this page the moment we're listed.

It depends on your gross qualifying income from property (and any self-employment). Over £50,000, you must start from 6 April 2026. Over £30,000, from 6 April 2027. Over £20,000, from 6 April 2028. Jointly owned property counts each owner's share only.

There are no penalties for missing a quarterly update deadline in the 2026/27 tax year — HMRC calls this a soft landing. After that, missed deadlines earn penalty points: 4 points trigger a £200 penalty, then £200 for each further miss. You still need to send every update before your tax return.

Yes — that's the whole point. Keep tracking rent, expenses and mileage exactly how you do today. We map your spreadsheet into the categories HMRC expects and handle the submission for you.

Each quarterly update covers everything from the start of the tax year to the end of that update period, not just the previous three months — HMRC calls this cumulative reporting. Your next deadline is 7 August 2026 (Q1 update (6 Apr – 5 Jul 2026)).

MTD doesn't change your Self Assessment deadline. Your tax return is still due by 31 January following the end of the tax year — for the 2026/27 tax year, that's 31 January 2028.
