Sound familiar?

MTD for Income Tax means landlords now need an accountant.

Since 6 April 2026, landlords and sole traders whose qualifying income (gross rental plus self-employment income) is over £50,000 must keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates, not just an annual return. The threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. For many landlords who've filed their own Self Assessment for years, this is the first time appointing an accountant has become close to unavoidable. We handle the transition — quarterly updates and your final declaration — so it doesn't become a compliance headache on top of everything else being a landlord already involves.

Common questions

FAQs About Our Landlord Accountant Service

Still not sure? Email a chartered accountant directly — we reply within one working day.

Do I need an accountant if I only have one rental property?

Not always — but if your total gross income (property plus any self-employment) crosses the MTD threshold, quarterly digital reporting becomes mandatory, and most landlords find that's the point where doing it themselves stops being straightforward.

What is Section 24 and how does it affect me?

Section 24 restricts mortgage interest relief for individual landlords to a basic-rate tax credit rather than a full expense deduction. Depending on your income and gearing, this can significantly change what you actually owe — we calculate it correctly rather than leaving it to guesswork.

I own property jointly with my spouse/partner — does that change anything?

Yes, jointly-owned property has specific rules on how income is split for tax purposes (not always 50/50 by default). We handle this as part of your return.

Do you handle both Self Assessment and MTD for Income Tax?

Yes — we work out which applies to you based on your income and register or file accordingly.

What if I have properties held in a limited company rather than personally?

That's a different structure (corporation tax rather than personal Self Assessment) — let us know at quote stage and we'll confirm the right service.
