Making Tax Digital for Landlords starts with agents.

Nexus turns your existing rent statements into HMRC-compliant, 

MTD-ready landlord tax submissions — without changing how you work.

Why MTD pulls agents into the process?

MTD doesn’t require new data from you. It creates repeated data entry for your landlords.
Re-entering data into tax software leads to errors, mismatches, and landlord queries that come back to your agency.
Nexus turns the data you already manage into HMRC-compliant MTD-ready submissions for your landlords.

No manual re-entry

The data landlords need for MTD already exists in agent-managed rent, fee, and expense records. Nexus removes repeated data entry by using that data to generate MTD-ready submissions.

Submit to HMRC from Nexus

Landlords (or their accountants) submit quarterly MTD updates directly to HMRC from Nexus, using agent-managed data.

Intelligent Expense Management

Alongside automated statement ingestion, landlords can review and manage expenses within Nexus, ensuring allowable expenses are captured and included in MTD submissions.

Zero-Friction Set Up

Nexus integrates with your existing software. Simply activate for your landlords, they get the tools they need to stay compliant, and the subscription is deducted automatically from their rental income. No further setup required.

Why Nexus works for letting agents

Handle MTD for your landlords, without changing how your agency operates.

Give landlords a clear answer

Nexus gives you a simple, agent-aligned way to support MTD, while landlords submit directly to HMRC.

Zero operational impact

Agents keep working as they do today. Accountants prepare returns as normal. Landlords submit directly to HMRC from Nexus. No new processes.

Turn MTD into recurring £££

Nexus provides an option — creating recurring income per landlord, without adding operational work.

Bottom line: Landlords make MTD submissions using agent data. Agents stay out of tax. Nexus connects the two.

How Nexus fits into the MTD process

01.

Letting agent enables Nexus

Nexus is enabled by letting agents inside their existing platform and is not available as a standalone landlord product. No setup, no training required.

02.

Landlord opts-in

Landlords receive an invite to activate Nexus. Once enabled, the subscription is automatically recorded as an expense.

03.

Data flows automatically

Rent, expenses, and ownership data already recorded by the agent flow into Nexus automatically — no re-entry, no reconciliation.

04.

Quarterly MTD reports to HMRC

Landlords (or their accountants) review and submit quarterly MTD updates to HMRC directly from Nexus in a few clicks.

Get your agency MTD-ready ahead of April 2026

Making Tax Digital for landlords becomes mandatory from April 2026. Agents who prepare early avoid disruption, protect landlord relationships, and keep control of how MTD is handled across their portfolio.


Getting started is straightforward:

  1. Schedule a 30-min demo to see Nexus in action.
  2. Enable it in your existing platform
  3. Introduce Nexus to your landlord clients using our ready-made templates and materials.

FAQs

Can landlords sign up to Nexus directly? Is it the same as Landlord Studio?

No. Nexus is a separate product built specifically for letting agents to support Making Tax Digital.

Nexus is only available through participating letting agents and is activated inside the agent’s existing CRM or rent collection platform. Landlords cannot sign up to Nexus directly, and Nexus does not replace agent systems or services.

Landlord Studio and Nexus serve different use cases. Nexus exists to help agents support landlord MTD submissions using agent-held data, without changing how agents or accountants work.

Does Nexus compete with letting agents or encourage self-management?

No. Nexus does not compete with letting agents or enable self-managed workflows. It relies on agent-managed rent statements and data, and cannot operate without an agent relationship in place.

What is Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax, and why does it matter for landlords?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD for ITSA) is HMRC's initiative requiring landlords with rental income over £50,000 annually to keep digital records and submit quarterly reports electronically starting April 2026 (with phased rollout to lower thresholds thereafter). This replaces the traditional annual Self Assessment process with quarterly digital submissions.

Landlords who fail to comply face potential penalties. Nexus ensures landlords meet these requirements effortlessly by automating the digitisation and reporting process.

How does Nexus integrate with an agents existing software platform?

Nexus connects directly to your client accounting or rent collection system's technical infrastructure through secure APIs, automatically capturing rental income, deducted expenses, and transaction metadata as they occur. There's no manual export/import process, no duplicate data entry, and no technical work required from your team.

Once the integration is enabled, data flows seamlessly into each landlord's Nexus account based on their opt-in status. Provisioning, billing, and deactivation are all automated within your existing platform workflow.

What's included in the monthly subscription for landlords?

The monthly fee covers unlimited transaction processing, automated expense categorisation, HMRC quarterly report generation and submission, UK-based customer support, and automatic software updates including new MTD compliance features.

It's comprehensive MTD compliance in a single, affordable subscription with no hidden fees or usage limits.

How do letting agents earn commission from Nexus?

Letting agents receive commission per landlord per month for every active Nexus subscriber provisioned through their platform. This commission is automatically calculated and distributed as part of the monthly billing cycle—there's no invoicing, tracking, or administrative work required from agents. Commission begins the month a landlord activates their subscription and continues for as long as they remain active.

It's genuinely passive recurring revenue that rewards agents for offering valuable technology to their landlord clients.

Can landlords use Nexus if they already have an accountant?

Absolutely. Nexus is designed to complement and streamline accountants' workflows, not replace them. Landlords can invite their accountant to access Nexus through the dedicated accountant portal, where the accountant can review transactions, make adjustments, apply specialised knowledge, and submit quarterly MTD reports directly to HMRC on the landlord's behalf.

Most accountants welcome Nexus because it eliminates the manual data entry bottleneck from paper statements, allowing them to focus on tax planning and advisory services rather than administrative data processing.
