Landlord Bookkeeping & MTD for Income Tax | Momentum360

For landlords

Landlord bookkeeping, whether you own property personally or through a company.

Know how each of your properties is really performing. If you own property personally, keep your own spreadsheet and have us check it, or hand it over to us, and we’ll take care of your MTD updates. If you own through a company, we’ll keep the company’s books in order all year round. Simple, affordable, and priced for landlords rather than big businesses.

Guide prices from £55/month + VAT, with bridging software included.

We're landlords too

We know what it's like to juggle tenants, repairs and mortgages. Quarterly tax returns on top of all that is the last thing any landlord needs.

As property owners ourselves, we've dealt with the boiler that breaks on a Sunday, the letting agent statement that doesn't quite add up, and the pile of receipts that needs sorting before the tax return is due. Now MTD adds quarterly deadlines to the list.

So we built a service that works the way landlords actually work. No expensive software to learn, no business-sized fees for a handful of transactions, and people who understand property on the other end of the phone.

Our aim is simple: to make your bookkeeping and MTD returns as easy and as affordable as possible, so you can get on with looking after your properties and your tenants.

New: first month free

Making Tax Doable

Doing your own MTD updates? Making Tax Doable is our friendly community for landlords and sole traders: reminders before every deadline, a WhatsApp group to ask your questions, and qualified bookkeepers and accountants on hand. From £10 a month, with your first month free.

Own property personally, or through a company?

We work with both. The rules are a little different, so here’s what it means for you.

In your own name

Your rental income goes on your own tax return. If your income is over the threshold, Making Tax Digital applies, so you’ll need digital records and quarterly updates to HMRC. Our DIY and Outsourced packages are built for you.

Through a limited company

Your company pays Corporation Tax instead, so MTD for Income Tax doesn’t apply. The company still needs accurate books all year, ready for its annual accounts. Our Property Company Grow package is built for you, priced in line with our Limited Company bookkeeping.

Making Tax Digital now applies to landlords who own property personally

MTD for Income Tax replaces your once-a-year Self Assessment with digital records, quarterly updates to HMRC and a final declaration at the end of the year. Whether you're in depends on your gross income from property, plus any self-employed income.

  1. April 2026

    Income over £50,000. Already in place.

  2. April 2027

    Income over £30,000.

  3. April 2028

    Income over £20,000.

It's your gross rent before any costs that counts. If you own a property jointly, only your share of the income counts towards your threshold, and each owner reports separately.

Sound familiar?

Another job on the list

Being a landlord already takes up plenty of evenings. Four quarterly updates and a year-end declaration is a lot more admin than one tax return in January.

Software built for businesses

Most accounting software is designed for companies with invoices, payroll and stock. You just want to record your rent and your costs, and a spreadsheet does that perfectly well.

Paying for more than you need

You might only have a few transactions a month, but many bookkeeping packages are priced for busy businesses. Ours are priced for landlords.

Letting agent statements

Rent arrives with fees already taken off, repairs deducted and statements that don't match your bank. It all needs recording properly.

Knowing what you can claim

Is it a repair or an improvement? How is mortgage interest treated? Getting it wrong means paying too much tax, or too little.

Owning jointly

With a partner or family member, each owner keeps records and reports their own share. That's twice the paperwork if nobody is organising it.

Keep your spreadsheet. We'll connect it to HMRC.

MTD doesn't mean you have to switch to accounting software. Bridging software takes the figures from a spreadsheet and sends them to HMRC digitally, in the way MTD requires. For most landlords with a small number of transactions, it's the simplest option, and it's the one we recommend.

Your spreadsheet

Rent in, costs out, per property. Kept by you, or updated by us every month. Don't have one yet? We'll set one up.

Bridging software

Links your spreadsheet to HMRC. We set it up and run the submissions for you.

HMRC

Quarterly updates and your final declaration, submitted accurately and on time.

Bridging software is included in our DIY and Outsourced MTD Updates packages. There's nothing extra to buy and no separate subscription to manage.

Landlord packages

If you own property personally, keep your own spreadsheet and have us review and submit it, or hand the bookkeeping over to us completely. If you own through a company, choose Property Company Grow. For anything a little different, choose Bespoke.
