Do I need to do Making Tax Digital if I have a job and rent out a property? Only if your rent, plus any self-employed income, is over the threshold before expenses. Your salary does not count. Over £30,000 of rent in 2025-26 means Making Tax Digital from 6 April 2027. No. GOV.UK lists employment (PAYE) income among the sources that do not count. Only self-employment and property income before expenses make up your qualifying income. Not on those figures. Your qualifying income is the £12,000 of rent, which is under £20,000, the lowest threshold. You still report the rent on a tax return each year. No. State Pension and private pensions are excluded, as are dividends, including from your own company. Read the full answer, with every source, at rightotax.co.uk.
