    From April 2026, landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 must use MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment — quarterly digital updates, compatible software, digital record-keeping.

    This assessment walks you through seven questions: your gross rental income, other self-employed income, current bookkeeping method, software in use, accountant involvement, jurisdiction, and property structure. It outputs your MTD start date, a list of compatible software options for your setup, and a personalised pre-April-2026 prep checklist.

    Not a calculator — a decision tree. Complete it once, share the output with your accountant, act on it.
