Making Tax Digital for landlords: keep rental income and property cost records ready.
Landlords preparing for Making Tax Digital need a dependable record habit. MTD Ledger UK gives Android users a simple way to track rental income, property expenses, MTD dates and CSV exports before accountant review.
Important: This app does not submit directly to HMRC and is not a substitute for tax advice. It helps landlords keep records before accountant review. Check current Making Tax Digital rules with GOV.UK or a qualified adviser.
Why landlords should prepare early
Rental income and property costs can become difficult to review when they are spread across bank statements, messages, paper notes and spreadsheets. A regular digital record habit makes quarterly review and accountant handoff more practical.
GOV.UK guidance says Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies in stages based on qualifying income from property and self-employment. Landlords near the relevant thresholds should keep cleaner records now rather than waiting for a deadline.
What landlord records should be kept clearly?
Rental income
Record rent received with date, amount, property note and any useful context for later review.
Property expenses
Record property costs with categories and notes so they are easier to check against statements and receipts.
Quarterly review
Keep records in a form that can be reviewed during the year instead of reconstructed at year end.
CSV export
Export records for accountant or bookkeeper review before any tax submission decision is made.

What the app does not do
MTD Ledger UK is not HMRC submission software. It does not send quarterly updates, final declarations or tax returns. It is designed to make the record-keeping stage clearer so that records can be checked before any filing work.
