Making Tax Digital (MTD) for landlords is coming
and most aren’t ready.
📅 April 2026: MTD for ITSA kicks in for rental income over £50,000.
📅 April 2027: The threshold drops to £30,000.
Translation? More landlords will be forced into digital tax compliance.
Quarterly reporting.
No more last-minute filings.
Zero room for error.
💡 Most overlooked fact?
If you own property jointly, MTD applies to your share, not the total rent.
📌 Example:
Tom & Jenny (Dubai-based expats) earn £98K from their UK rentals.
Split 50/50, each gets £49K.
🚫 No MTD yet (under £50K).
⚠️ But in 2027? Boom. They’re in.
💭 Why does this matter?
Landlords who wait too long will be stuck scrambling for:
✔️ Digital record-keeping tools
✔️ MTD-compliant reporting systems
✔️ A tax strategy that actually works
🚀 Here’s what smart expat landlords are doing NOW:
✅ Assessing income bands, Will MTD impact you in 2026 or 2027?
✅ Going digital early, Getting MTD-compatible software before it’s urgent.
✅ Structuring wisely, Because how you own your properties affects your tax strategy.
The UK tax game is changing for landlords.
Question is: Are you playing it right?
