Making Tax Digital for landlords: reporting property income, thresholds and penalties

From 6 April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax became mandatory for the first group of landlords and sole traders. Over the next two tax years, the new rules, together with the reformed penalty system for late filing and late payment, will extend to many more property owners.

Any landlord who has not yet checked whether the new rules apply to them should do so without delay. The thresholds are set by reference to gross income rather than profit, so a landlord whose rental business makes only a modest profit, or even a loss, can still find themselves within scope.

HMRC nudge letters: what they mean and how to respond

HMRC sends out tens of thousands of ‘nudge letters’ each year, and they have become one of its standard compliance tools. They are sent in connection with rental and Airbnb income, offshore assets, crypto asset disposals, undeclared business takings, capital gains and research and development claims, among other things. How you respond to one can have a direct effect on how the matter is resolved with HMRC.

What is a smash and grab adjudication?

A smash and grab adjudication is a fast-track legal mechanism that allows a contractor or subcontractor to recover unpaid sums based not on the value of the work carried out, but on a paying party's failure to follow the correct payment notice procedures. At Altion Law, we advise contractors, employers, and subcontractors across a wide range of construction disputes, including commencing and defending smash and grab adjudications.
