Landlord guide
Use this page to understand what MTD changes for landlords in practical terms before you move into records, software, or deadlines.
The biggest change is that landlords in scope move into a more digital, more regular reporting process. Instead of thinking about tax only as a once-a-year task, they need to think about digital records, quarterly updates, and the year-end return as part of one connected flow.
Landlords in scope are brought in through the same MTD thresholds used for self-employment and property income more broadly. The practical starting point is to check qualifying income and likely start date first.
A lot of landlord users are comfortable with basic Self Assessment habits but have not yet had to think about digital record categories, quarterly updates, or property-business structure in this way.
Start by checking likely MTD timing, then understand how your property records should be structured, then compare software with property support in mind.
