Tax & MTD
Making Tax Digital for landlords
What MTD means for you, when it starts, and how Tendmere handles it.
What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax requires qualifying landlords to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates using compatible software. Tendmere supports digital records and review preparation; production HMRC submission is not enabled.
Who does it affect?
From April 2026, landlords with property income over £50,000 must comply. The threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027. Even if you're below the threshold, using digital records now means you're ready when the time comes.
Quarterly submissions
Under MTD, qualifying users submit cumulative income and expense summaries during the year. Tendmere prepares figures from the records you enter or import for review.
End of period statement
Finalisation requirements depend on the applicable HMRC process and tax year. Tendmere can organise the underlying records, while filing remains outside the live release.
How Tendmere helps
Review the prepared summary, resolve missing or uncategorised items, and use the available export or accountant handoff. Do not rely on Tendmere as proof that a return has been filed.
