HMRC Begins Automatic Making Tax Digital Sign-Ups for Landlords
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has started automatically registering landlords for Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax. This process targets landlords who have not yet signed up but are believed by HMRC to be required to use the system.
According to Property118, the automatic registration process is beginning this month and will be rolled out in stages. The rules for MTD for Income Tax have applied since 6 April to sole traders, including landlords, who meet the relevant criteria.
Letting agents and inventory clerks should be aware that landlords who have not taken action to register for MTD may soon find themselves automatically enrolled by HMRC. This change could affect how landlords manage their tax reporting and compliance.
