MTD for Income Tax Software
Landlords & Sole Traders
File MTD ITSA is a HMRC-compatible MTD software designed for landlords, sole traders and accountants to comply with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. Keep digital records, submit quarterly updates to HMRC and complete your final declaration with ease.
MTD Software for All Income Types
MTD Software for Landlords
If you're a UK landlord with residential or commercial rental income, MTD means you'll need to report that income to HMRC every quarter from April 2026. Using our HMRC-compatible software, you can enter your rental income, log allowable expenses like repairs, insurance, letting agent fees and mortgage interest, then submit directly to HMRC with one click.
- Rental income & premium tracking
- All allowable expense categories
- Residential finance cost separation
- Furnished Holiday Let support
- Rent-a-room relief handling
MTD for Sole Traders
Sole traders and freelancers with qualifying income over the MTD threshold need to submit quarterly updates for their trade income. Record your business turnover, running costs, stock purchases and capital allowances in one place, all categorised to match HMRC’s SA103 requirements. At year-end, add your annual adjustments and submit your final declaration using the same MTD-compliant platform without switching tools.
- Business turnover recording
- Trade expenses & cost of stock
- Capital allowances
- Class 2 & Class 4 NIC calculations
- Trading allowance support
Overseas Property Income
Own rental property overseas? Your foreign property income counts toward the MTD threshold and requires separate quarterly reporting to HMRC. Most MTD software doesn’t handle this — we do. Use our platform to report income from overseas properties with country-by-country tracking, foreign tax credit relief support and full SA106 compliance.
- Overseas rental income reporting
- Foreign tax credit relief
- Currency conversion notes
- Dual reporting compliance
- Country-by-country tracking
How Our MTD Software Works
Under MTD for Income Tax, you need to submit your income and expenses to HMRC four times a year, then file a year-end declaration. Here is how our platform makes each step straightforward.
Link Your HMRC Account
Sign in with your Government Gateway details and authorise File MTD ITSA to submit on your behalf. It takes about five minutes, and you only need to do it once. Your credentials stay with HMRC - we never see your password.
Submit Your Quarterly Figures
Each quarter, enter your income and expenses. Review the totals, check everything looks right, then hit submit. Your figures go straight to HMRC through their official API.
Check Your Tax Position
After each submission, request a live tax calculation from HMRC. You will see a breakdown of your income tax, National Insurance, and any deductions - so there are no surprises come January.
File Your Year-End Declaration
At the end of the tax year, add any annual adjustments like capital allowances or loss relief, review your complete tax position across all quarters, and submit your final declaration to HMRC. That is your tax year done.
