What is it?

What is an MTD Quarterly Property Income Update?

An MTD Quarterly Property Income Update is the record-keeping system landlords need for Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax. Starting from April 2026, landlords with gross property income over £50,000 must submit quarterly updates to HMRC. This template provides four quarterly trackers plus an annual summary, all aligned with HMRC's MTD categories and SA105 box numbers.

Common use cases:

  • Recording property income and expenses for MTD quarterly updates
  • Submitting quarterly figures to HMRC through MTD-compatible software
  • Tracking rental income and expenses across multiple tax years
  • Calculating Section 24 mortgage interest relief per quarter
  • Producing annual totals that map directly to SA105 tax return boxes

When to use this template

  • You are a landlord affected by MTD for Income Tax (property income over £50,000 from April 2026)
  • You want to stay ahead of MTD requirements and test your process early
  • You need quarterly-ready records that feed into your annual tax return
