Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is Here
Landlord Vision is officially recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital. Connect to HMRC, submit quarterly updates, and file your final declaration — all without leaving the platform.
The MTD Journey in Landlord Vision
From connecting to HMRC to filing your final declaration, here's how Landlord Vision handles each stage of the MTD process for you.
Connect to HMRC
Authorise Landlord Vision to communicate with HMRC on your behalf. It's a one-time secure connection using HMRC's Government Gateway credentials — the same login you already use for Self Assessment.
Once connected, Landlord Vision can send and receive data directly with HMRC.
Map Your Businesses to Portfolios
HMRC treats each income source as a separate "business." In Landlord Vision, you map these HMRC businesses to your property portfolios so the right income and expenses flow into the correct quarterly submission.
If you have both UK and overseas properties, each is mapped as a separate business.
Submit Quarterly Updates
Every quarter, Landlord Vision compiles your income and expense totals and lets you review them before submission. When you're happy, send the update to HMRC with a single click.
The four quarterly periods run: Apr–Jul, Jul–Oct, Oct–Jan, Jan–Apr. You'll have one month after each quarter ends to submit.
End of Period Statement & Adjustments
At the end of the tax year, review your full-year figures. This is where you can make accounting adjustments — for example, capital allowances, private use adjustments, or any corrections to earlier quarters.
Landlord Vision presents your annual summary clearly so you can confirm everything is accurate before submitting your End of Period Statement (EOPS) to HMRC.
Losses & Carry Forward
If your property business makes a loss in a given tax year, Landlord Vision lets you carry that loss forward to offset against future profits — reducing your tax liability in subsequent years.
The platform tracks your loss position so nothing gets missed when you file.
Final Declaration
The Final Declaration is the last step — it replaces the traditional Self Assessment tax return. You confirm that all income sources have been reported and that your figures are complete and correct.
Once submitted through Landlord Vision, you're done for the year. HMRC has everything they need.
What is Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is HMRC's programme to modernise how landlords and the self-employed report their income. Instead of filing a single Self Assessment tax return at the end of the year, you'll keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC using recognised software.
The aim is to reduce errors, give you a closer-to-real-time view of your tax position, and replace the paper-based system with a streamlined digital process.
If you're a UK landlord with qualifying income above the threshold, MTD for Income Tax will be mandatory — not optional. Landlord Vision is built to make this transition seamless.

When Does MTD for Income Tax Start?
MTD for Income Tax is being rolled out in stages based on gross income. Phase 1 is already live — and Phase 2 is less than a year away.
MTD is now mandatory for landlords and self-employed individuals with combined gross income above £50,000. If this applies to you, you should already be keeping digital records and submitting quarterly.
The threshold drops to include those with gross income between £30,000 and £50,000. Getting set up now means you'll be ready well ahead of time.
HMRC has indicated plans to extend MTD to lower income thresholds, but no date has been confirmed yet.
Not sure if you qualify? Your gross income is the total property and/or self-employment income before expenses — not your profit. If your combined gross from all sources crosses the threshold, MTD applies to you.
