Landlords urged to send second MTD quarterly update to HMRC by 7 November 2026

Propertymark is urging landlords and sole traders already using Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax to send their second quarterly update to HMRC by 7 November 2026. MTD for Income Tax became compulsory in April 2026 for landlords, and the industry body has highlighted the November date as the next deadline.

The 7 November 2026 deadline

According to the Property118 report, Propertymark has urged landlords and sole traders already using MTD for Income Tax to send their second quarterly update to HMRC by 7 November 2026.

The call is aimed at those already operating within MTD for Income Tax, and Property118's report describes 7 November 2026 as the next deadline for that group.

Compulsory since April 2026

The report states that Making Tax Digital for Income Tax became compulsory in April 2026 for landlords. Propertymark's warning therefore concerns the next deadline facing landlords within the regime. Quarterly updates to HMRC are part of that regime, and the second is due by 7 November 2026.
