Before you choose
What GOV.UK says to check, answered for LetCompliance
Being on the list is where it starts. GOV.UK asks you to check that the software covers everything you need to send, and only one product can send the quarterly updates for your property income.
- It is on GOV.UK’s software finder
- Yes, since 18 September 2026, as software for individuals.
- It supports all your income sources
- UK property income. Not self-employment or foreign property income; UK interest and dividends are in development.
- It sends your quarterly updates and your tax return
- Both, for UK property income. The tax return can go from here when UK property is the only income you need to add yourself.
- It creates your records, or connects to a spreadsheet
- It creates them, from the rent and expenses you record, a photographed receipt or an imported bank statement.
- It works with your update periods
- Standard quarters from 6 April or calendar quarters from 1 April, chosen before your first update.
The checks are from GOV.UK’s Choose the right software for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. Every product in GOV.UK’s software finder is recognised by HMRC, and HMRC does not recommend any one of them.
What it means
Your tax return runs on the records that run your let
There is no spreadsheet in the middle and no second app to copy figures into. The same entries that track the rent and the repairs become the updates HMRC receives.
01
Nothing to type twice
The rent and expenses you record for the let are the figures HMRC gets. Each quarter they are already sorted into HMRC’s own categories, whether they came from Finance, a photographed receipt or an imported bank statement.
02
Sent from your account, confirmed by HMRC
Check the quarter and press Submit to HMRC. LetCompliance keeps a copy of exactly what was sent, and HMRC confirms it against your obligations.
03
The year end as well
After 5 April, answer the year-end questions and send your tax return by 31 January. HMRC works out the Income Tax and National Insurance, you read it and confirm.
The next deadline
Next quarterly update due
That is in 21 days. It covers 6 April to 5 October 2026: every update runs from the start of the tax year, not just the last three months.
- Must use it now
- Over £50,000 of qualifying income on the 2024 to 2025 return
- From 6 April 2027
- Over £30,000 on the 2025 to 2026 return
Who it is for
Landlords filing for themselves
GOV.UK lists LetCompliance as individual software for UK property income. That decides who it suits today.
It suits you if
- You let property in the UK in your own name, alone or jointly.
- Your qualifying income was over £50,000 on your 2024 to 2025 return, so Making Tax Digital applies to you now.
- It will be over £30,000 on your 2025 to 2026 return, so it applies to you from 6 April 2027.
Look elsewhere if
- You’re a letting agent filing for clients. Filing for someone else is HMRC’s agent route, which LetCompliance hasn’t built.
- You also have self-employment or foreign property income. The listing doesn’t cover those, so you would need software that does.
Own a property jointly? Each owner reports their own share on their own return, so only your share goes on yours. Enter the full rent and costs, set your share on the property, and LetCompliance reports your share.
How to start
Four steps, and only the last one repeats
- Sign up for Making Tax Digital on GOV.UKDone once, and separate from any software. You need to be registered for Self Assessment and to have filed a return in the last 2 years. Until this is done, HMRC refuses the connection whichever software you use.
- Choose a plan and add your propertiesFrom £7.99 a month. A whole portfolio comes in from one spreadsheet, and Making Tax Digital is on every paid plan.
- Connect your HMRC accountA one-time sign-in with the same Government Gateway ID you use for Self Assessment, then add your National Insurance number.
- Record as you go, send each quarterLog rent and expenses as they happen. Send each update by 7 August, 7 November, 7 February and 7 May.

The listing is public
GOV.UK’s software finder opens without signing in. HMRC’s mark appears here with its reference, as HMRC asks, and it covers the Making Tax Digital software only.
FAQs
What landlords ask about it
What does “recognised by HMRC” mean?
LetCompliance is on GOV.UK’s list of software that works with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax, and HMRC has given it permission to show its recognition mark (reference D3V9KL). The listing covers quarterly updates and the tax return for UK property income. It is about the Making Tax Digital software, not the rest of the product.
How much does it cost?
Making Tax Digital is on every paid plan: income and expenses, receipt scanning, bank statement import, the mileage log, your quarterly updates and the tax return. Single is £7.99 a month for one property, Solo £14.99 for up to 3 and Portfolio £19 for up to 10. New accounts also get a 3-day trial of the rest of the let, no card needed.
Do I have to use Making Tax Digital yet?
You do if your qualifying income was over £50,000 on your 2024 to 2025 tax return. From 6 April 2027 the line is £30,000 (on the 2025 to 2026 return), and from 6 April 2028 it is £20,000. Qualifying income is rent plus any self-employment turnover, before expenses.
I own a property with someone else. Does it split the rent?
No. Each owner reports their own share on their own return, so only your share goes on yours. Enter the full rent and costs and set your share on the property, and LetCompliance reports your share. If you already enter only your share, leave it at 100%.
Can my letting agent file for me through it?
No. LetCompliance is listed as individual software, so a connection only ever reaches the signed-in person’s own tax record. Filing for a client is HMRC’s agent route, which needs an Agent Services Account and the client’s authorisation, and LetCompliance hasn’t built it.
What if I also have self-employment or foreign property income?
The listing doesn’t cover them: self-employment and foreign property income are not included, and UK interest and dividends are in development. For that income you would need software that covers it.

The person behind it
Built by a landlord, for landlords.
I let property myself, so I know what it costs to juggle an agent, a spreadsheet and a handful of reminder apps just to run a let. LetCompliance puts all of it behind one login: advertise the property, take applications, collect the rent by Direct Debit, run the repairs and send the tax updates to HMRC, with every certificate and notice kept in order, each taken straight from GOV.UK.
