FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do landlords need to use Making Tax Digital?

It depends on your qualifying income from property and self-employment. If your combined income exceeds the relevant threshold, you will need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates. The thresholds are being introduced in phases from April 2026.

Does MTD apply to property limited companies?

MTD for Income Tax does not apply to limited companies in the same way it applies to individuals. However, good digital record keeping remains important for all property businesses, and there are separate MTD requirements for VAT-registered companies.

Can you help if I own property personally and through a company?

Yes. We regularly support clients who have both personal property holdings and property companies. We can help you understand the different obligations and reporting requirements for each.

Can you help me choose software?

Yes. We can discuss your situation and recommend software that suits your needs, whether for bookkeeping, Self Assessment, or Making Tax Digital compliance.

Can you prepare my Self Assessment tax return?
