Landords- Are You Ready for Making Tax Digital?
Thousands of landlords and sole traders are about to be swept into the next phase of HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) initiative—and if you own property, it’s time to get prepared.
From April 2026, anyone earning over £50,000 from self-employment or property income will be required to keep digital records and submit quarterly tax updates through approved software. Those earning over £30,000 will follow in April 2027.
At CityGate North, we know this change could feel like yet another task to juggle—especially if you’re managing multiple investments. But with the right support and systems in place, it doesn’t have to be a headache.
What Does This Mean for Landlords and Property Investors?
Whether you’re managing one rental or a full portfolio, here’s what the new rules mean:
Quarterly Submissions: Instead of submitting one tax return per year, you’ll now submit updates every three months.
Digital Record-Keeping: You’ll need to use HMRC-approved software to log your income and expenses—spreadsheets won't cut it anymore.
Final End-of-Year Submission: You'll still file a final declaration, but only after the four quarterly ones are complete.
