Property management platform achieves MTD-compatible status ahead of April 2026 deadline, enabling landlords to submit quarterly updates directly from the app.

‍

LONDON, UK – 30 March 2026– Landlord Studio, the property management software platform trusted by over 100,000 landlords worldwide, today announced it has been recognised by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) as Making Tax Digital (MTD) compatible software. The new functionality enables UK landlords to submit quarterly updates directly through Landlord Studio’s platform, significantly simplifying tax compliance ahead of the April 2026 MTD deadline.

With Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment becoming mandatory for landlords with property income above £50,000 from April 2026, an estimated 800,000 people affected by the change who will need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates using recognised software. Landlord Studio’s MTD functionality provides property owners with a seamless solution that integrates MTD updates directly into their existing property management workflow.

"This is a significant milestone for Landlord Studio,” said Logan Ransley, Co-Founder of Landlord Studio. “We’ve built our platform to handle every aspect of property management, and now UK landlords can manage their entire tax compliance process without leaving the app. For landlords already tracking their income and expenses in Landlord Studio, MTD updates take minutes, not days.”

Simple Three-Step MTD Compliance

Landlord Studio makes MTD compliance straightforward through three simple steps:

Step 1: Connect to HMRC – Landlords complete a one-time setup by linking their Government Gateway account to Landlord Studio, with an optional step to add multiple property owners who need to make individual MTD updates.

Step 2: Track income and expenses – Record rental income and property expenses in Landlord Studio throughout the year. The platform automatically maps transactions to the SA105 categories used for property income reporting.

Step 3: Submit quarterly and annual obligations – Review auto-populated returns with clear status indicators showing completed, due, and overdue submissions, then submit directly to HMRC with a single click.

All-in-One Property Management with Built-In Tax Compliance

Unlike standalone accounting software, Landlord Studio combines comprehensive property management capabilities with direct HMRC tax compliance. UK landlords can manage tenancy tracking, income and expense management, Open Banking connectivity, landlord compliance management, and financial reporting alongside their MTD obligations – all within a single platform.

This integrated approach means landlords managing their properties in Landlord Studio already have all the data needed for accurate MTD updates without additional data entry or reconciliation. With quarterly reporting requirements taking effect from April 2026, we are proud to enables landlords to establish compliant workflows well ahead of the mandatory deadline.

Preparation and Support for UK Landlords

Landlord Studio is supporting the MTD rollout with comprehensive educational resources, including webinars, compliance guides, and dedicated customer support to help landlords understand their obligations and set up their accounts correctly.
