What are my Making Tax Digital options as a landlord with two properties?

What are my Making Tax Digital options as a landlord with two properties? It depends on rent, not property count. If your share of rent from both, before expenses, was over £30,000 in 2025-26, Making Tax Digital starts on 6 April 2027. At £20,000 or less, you are exempt. Only if your share of the rent, plus any self-employed income, is over the threshold before expenses. Over £30,000 in 2025-26 means 6 April 2027. The number of properties does not matter. No. The test uses income before expenses, so mortgage interest, repairs and agent fees do not reduce it. Mortgage interest still matters, because it must be kept as a separate record in your updates. Normally not. HMRC treats all your UK lets as one property business in most cases, so one set of quarterly updates covers both properties. Read the full answer, with every source, at rightotax.co.uk.
