Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

MTD for landlords: the complete 2026 guide

Landlords above £50,000 gross from April 2026 must use MTD-IT. Gross rent (not profit), combined with any SE income, your share if jointly owned.

Landlords are squarely in scope for MTD for Income Tax. If your gross rental income — combined with any self-employment income — exceeds £50,000 (April 2026), £30,000 (April 2027), or £20,000 (April 2028), you must keep digital records and file quarterly updates.

Gross rent counts, not profit. For jointly owned property, only **your share** counts. A mortgaged landlord with thin margins can still be well over the threshold on gross rents alone.
