Over 4.3 million UK taxpayers will be brought into Making Tax Digital (MTD) by 2026, according to HMRC, including most landlords. The reforms mean quarterly digital submissions instead of one annual tax return. For many landlords, this is confusing and time-consuming.
That is why Optimise Accountants is hosting a free live webinar on Wednesday, 12th November 2025, at 8:00pm UK (BST), where landlords can hear directly from experts, see real examples, and ask questions live.
What is Making Tax Digital for landlords
Making Tax Digital for landlords is HMRC’s plan to digitise record-keeping. From April 2026, landlords with rental and business income above £50,000 must submit quarterly updates using HMRC-approved software. From April 2027, the threshold drops to £30,000.
Timeline
| Date | Threshold | Requirement | % of taxpayers affected |
|---|---|---|---|
| April 2026 | £50,000+ | 4 quarterly updates, End of Period Statement, Final Declaration | 1.6m |
| April 2027 | £30,000–£50,000 | Same as above | 1.9m |
