4 Biggest MTD Mistakes UK Landlords Are Still Making in 2026 (And How to Fix Them)

Still unsure if MTD applies to you? You could already be at risk of penalty points — and not even know it.
In this video, we break down the 4 biggest Making Tax Digital mistakes UK landlords are still making right now — and exactly what to do about each one before the 7th August quarterly deadline.
🚨 Mistake 1 — Assuming MTD doesn't apply to you
MTD is based on gross receipts, not profits or net income. If rent is coming in above the threshold, you must comply — full stop.
⏳ Mistake 2 — Leaving it too late to get set up
Migrating records, connecting bank feeds, and configuring property data takes time. The 7th August deadline won't wait — and late submissions trigger penalty points immediately.
🏠 Mistake 3 — Not tracking income and costs per property
MTD requires property-level reporting. Mixed ownership splits? Your software must reflect that from the start of this tax year — or your figures could trigger HMRC queries.
📊 Mistake 4 — Still relying on spreadsheets alone
Spreadsheets cannot submit directly to HMRC. You need bridging software — or an MTD-native platform — before your first quarterly deadline hits.
