Following the box from Charles

Hi Anthony, here’s what the box was about.

From April 2027 the Making Tax Digital line drops to £30,000. Average rent in Westminster is £3,209 a month, which is £38,508 a year. One average flat takes a landlord over the £30k line, so almost every landlord you manage is in from April 2027.

Every landlord in scope needs digital records and HMRC-compatible software. Your rental statements already give them the figures. Today, they or their accountant still have to type those figures into their software.

Nexus does that bit automatically. It pulls the rent, fees and expenses your team already records in Reapit into each landlord’s own Nexus account. Your landlords, or their accountants, still do the filing. Anthony Martin doesn’t take on any tax or bookkeeping work.

Your role is simply to give landlords the option, through your own sign-up page. Your client accounting stays exactly as it is, and your agency earns commission.

I’ve worked out roughly how many of your landlords that covers. Could we take 20 minutes to go through it?

Your agency gives landlords the option. That’s the whole job.

Your agency (you)

Keep recording as now

Rent, fees and expenses go into Reapit as they always do. You share your sign-up page with landlords.

Nexus (your landlord)

Figures sync automatically

Each landlord gets their own account. They review the figures, add anything missing and invite their accountant.

HMRC

Landlord or accountant files

Quarterly updates go to HMRC from Nexus. Nexus is recognised by HMRC.

What your team does

Keeps client accounting exactly as it is
Shares your sign-up page, emails and flyers with landlords
Sees sign-ups and commission in your partner portal

What your team doesn’t do

File quarterly updates or tax returns
Bookkeeping for landlords
Support landlords with the software (we do)
Raise invoices or chase subscription payments

Most of your landlords file themselves or use an accountant?

That’s who Nexus is for. They keep filing the way they do now. Nexus saves them, or their accountant, from re-entering the figures from your statements.

A new income line, with no invoices to raise

Landlords pay £12 + VAT a month or £120 + VAT a year for Nexus. Your agency earns recurring commission on every eligible landlord you refer, under your partner agreement.

We handle subscription billing and payment collection. Your partner portal shows sign-ups and commission as they come in. Nothing to pay for the agency.

A landlord service that pays you, without extra admin

Less admin

No change for your team

Records sync automatically. No quarterly statement uploads or re-keying.

Retention

Another reason to stay

Landlords get an easy route to compliance through your agency.

Revenue

Recurring commission

Earn on every eligible landlord subscription. Nexus bills and collects.

Making Tax Digital

Landlords stay compliant

Carry on as usual

Records sync automatically. You track sign-ups and commission in your partner portal.

Questions agents ask

Do we have to file tax or do bookkeeping for landlords?

No. Landlords, or their accountants, submit their own quarterly updates from Nexus. Your agency only gives them the option to use it.

Our landlords already file themselves or use an accountant. Is Nexus still relevant?

Yes, that’s who it’s for. Nexus gives them the HMRC-compatible software and fills it with the figures you already record, so nobody re-enters your statements.

We’re on Reapit. Do we need another system?

No. Nexus sits alongside your client accounting in Reapit. Your landlords use it, not your team.

What does it cost?

Nothing for the agency. Landlords pay £12 + VAT a month or £120 + VAT a year, and you earn commission on each one.

How do landlords sign up?

Through your agency’s own sign-up page, in under 2 minutes. We handle onboarding and answer their product questions by chat or email.
