MTD Landlord Hub

General information, not tax or legal advice.

MTD software picker

Five questions: VAT, landlord, CIS, bank and budget. The answer is still the official software list, plus a note where a bank offer may apply.

Not sure which start date applies?

The checker stays in the browser. This form emails the site without those figures.

Not yet hands-on tested. This picker does not name a best product.

Start with HMRC’s list of compatible software. Compatibility is that list, not a ranking on this site.

What the picker will not say

A landlord who also has a business bank account still gets the official list, plus a note to check the bank’s current terms. That note is not a recommendation. No product on this site has been hands-on tested, so none is called best.

How to read the list

Compatibility is HMRC’s list. This picker only sorts the questions you should answer before you open it: VAT, whether you are a landlord, CIS, a bank offer, and budget. Affiliate links are not published. Read the testing policy.
