Guides
- MTD for landlords: what records do I need to keep? – what each digital record must show, the property categories, and how long to keep them.
- MTD quarterly update deadlines 2026/27 – all four 2026/27 update dates, standard vs calendar periods, and late-update penalties.
- Do I need MTD if my income is under £50,000? – the £30,000 (April 2027) and £20,000 (April 2028) thresholds, and why it's turnover, not profit.
- MTD for joint property owners – only your share counts, simpler records for joint lets, and leaving expenses out of quarterly updates.
- What counts as qualifying income for MTD? – what's in (turnover and rent before expenses), what's out (wages, pensions, dividends, partnership share).
- Can I use a spreadsheet for MTD? – yes, with bridging software – plus digital links and the copy-and-paste rule.
