How we connect to HMRC
The same idea as the big brands — without the accountant baggage
We connect to HMRC the same way major software does — securely and directly.
Step 1 · You sign in with HMRC
You use HMRC’s normal sign-in. LandlordSorted never sees your HMRC password.
Step 2 · You approve only what MTD needs
You grant access for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax — not a wide-open login to your whole tax account.
Step 3 · Quarterly updates go straight to HMRC
When you submit, figures go to HMRC over their official channel. You keep a confirmation reference.
The situation
From April 2026, quarterly tax submissions are the law
If you earn over £50,000 as a landlord, you're required to submit quarterly income and expense updates to HMRC — using approved software. No exceptions.
| Penalty per missed quarterly update | £200 |
|---|---|
| Submissions required every year | 4× |
| First filing deadline 2026 | 7 Aug |
This is for you if…
- You earn over £50,000 from property (or you're heading toward the £30,000 MTD threshold)
- You currently do your own tax self-assessment
- Xero feels like it was built for accountants, not you
- You've got certificates, tenants, and expenses to track — not just a quarterly form to file
- You want this sorted, not turned into a new hobby
How it works
Four steps. Once settled, barely any effort.
2 · Track expenses and receipts as you go
Add costs from your phone whenever they happen. Snap a receipt and we auto-categorise it. No spreadsheets. No end-of-quarter panic trying to remember what that £340 charge was.
3 · Stay on top of your compliance certificates
Gas safety, EICR, EPC — LandlordSorted tracks expiry dates for every property and emails you at 60, 30, and 7 days before they expire. Fines for lapsed certificates run up to £30,000. We make sure you never forget.
4 · Review your quarter and send to HMRC
Every 3 months, we show you a summary — income, expenses, net profit. Check it looks right. One tap sends it to HMRC over their official MTD route. You get a confirmation reference and your next deadline on screen.

New: what you get beyond MTD
MTD gets you filing. LandlordSorted keeps you compliant.
Most landlords file four times a year. LandlordSorted works for you the other 48 weeks too.
Rent ledger
Every month, LandlordSorted prompts you when rent is due from each tenant. One tap — received, partial, or late. Your income log updates automatically so nothing needs entering twice. See payment history at a glance. Know instantly if any rent is overdue.
Compliance certificate tracker
Track gas safety, EICR, EPC, and HMO licences across every property. We email you 60, 30, and 7 days before anything expires. Compliance failures can cost up to £30,000 in fines — we make sure you never forget a renewal.
Running tax estimate (Pro)
See a live running total of your estimated tax liability as you log income and expenses throughout the year. Updated in real time. Per property breakdown. The number your accountant tells you once a year — you'll know it every month.
Pricing
Less than the cost of one missed deadline
Typical MTD-ready software costs roughly £120–£430/year before add-ons. LandlordSorted Pro stays £49/year.

FAQ
- Do I definitely need to do this?
- If you're a UK landlord and earned over £50,000 gross in 2024/25, yes — from April 2026. The threshold drops to £30,000 in April 2027. Our eligibility quiz tells you exactly where you stand in 60 seconds.
- Is this really HMRC-approved?
- Yes — in the way that matters first: we submit via HMRC's official Making Tax Digital for Income Tax APIs, the same pathway used by major software (not screen scraping or PDFs by email). We're completing HMRC's vendor listing process for the Software Choices register and will publish our Vendor ID as soon as HMRC issues it.
- Do I need this if I already use an accountants?
- Many landlords use TaxGrounds for day-to-day logging and compliance tracking, then share the accountant export with their accountant at year end. You keep control throughout the year — your accountant gets clean, organised data when they need it.
- Does it track more than just tax?
- Yes. Beyond quarterly MTD submissions, TaxGrounds tracks rent received from each tenant every month, flags late payments, and monitors the expiry dates of your compliance certificates — gas safety, EICR, EPC, and HMO licences. Most landlords tell us the compliance tracker alone is worth it.
- Can I switch from another MTD tool?
- Yes. If you have existing records, you can import them via CSV. HMRC doesn't lock you to one software provider.
- What happens after I've filed?
- TaxGrounds keeps working. Your rent ledger tracks payments, your compliance dashboard monitors certificates, and your running tax estimate updates as you log income and expenses. There's always something to check — and it takes seconds.
