Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Landlords

In April 2024, MTD will be applicable to landlords whose income from property is over £10,000 per annum. You can find out more about MTD on this page, but essentially this legislation requires businesses to keep digital records in an approved cloud bookkeeping software. Warr & Co currently work with five leading providers, so there will be a suitable service for all business types.

While 2024 might seem a long way off, it is wise to prepare early. There are plenty of additional benefits to starting to use a cloud bookkeeping service; such as reduced time on administrative tasks, better visibility for your accountants, and a clear overview of your incoming and outgoing payments. It is far less fiddly than using a spreadsheet and most landlords appreciate the ability to upload receipts directly instead of manually recording expenses.

You can find out more about MTD for landlords here, where you can also watch our webinar on this topic. Click below to read about our cloud bookkeeping partners and reach out to us if you’d like to set up ready for your MTD deadline.
