How do landlords with a jointly owned property do Making Tax Digital in 2027?

How do landlords with a jointly owned property do Making Tax Digital in 2027? Each joint owner counts only their own share of the rent. If your share, plus any other rent and self-employed income, was over £30,000 in 2025-26, you join Making Tax Digital on 6 April 2027, on your own. Each of you is tested separately on your own share. Married couples and civil partners who live together are normally taxed 50:50 on jointly held property, so £50,000 of rent is £25,000 each, under the £30,000 threshold for April 2027. Married couples and civil partners can, by sending HMRC a Form 17 declaration within 60 days of signing it. It applies only from the date of the declaration, and only where the ownership really is unequal. No. HMRC's guidance says joint landlords do not need to link their records to the other owner's. You record your own share. Read the full answer, with every source, at rightotax.co.uk.
