What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) for landlords?
From 6 April 2026, most landlords earning over £50,000 a year from property and/or self-employment must follow new HMRC rules for how they keep financial records and send tax information.
This threshold will decrease quickly over the coming years, and the number of landlords required to comply with MTD will therefore increase year on year.
MTD means...
Keep digital records automatically
All income and expenses must be recorded digitally using HMRC-approved software.
Send quarterly updates to HMRC
Four updates per year submitted directly to HMRC from your digital records.
Submit your annual tax return
Final declarations submitted through HMRC-approved MTD-compatible software.
MTD Software
What software do you need?
MTD software comes in a few forms — usually it creates and maintains digital records, but it can also be "bridging software" that connects to existing spreadsheets. Landlords typically fall into one of two categories:
All-in-one MTD software
A full MTD-enabled tool, like Portfolio, covering both digital record keeping and direct submission to HMRC.
Multiple products together
A combination of tools — e.g. Excel spreadsheets for record keeping, plus a dedicated MTD submission tool.

Rent tracking works by firstly setting up a bank rule automation to auto categorise incoming rent payments for your tenancy. Once that is set up you can set up which alerts you would like sent, if rent matching the rule you set up has not been received. Rent alerts can be sent to you and/or your tenant(s).
