SimplifyMTD helps UK landlords comply with Making Tax Digital. Submit quarterly updates direct to HMRC. Final Declaration support is a planned feature, subject to HMRC authorisation, and is not currently available. Lower cost than an accountant. While Final Declaration support is not yet available in SimplifyMTD, you can still use the platform for your quarterly updates. The Final Declaration can be completed at year end by your accountant — they can use your downloaded SimplifyMTD records as the starting point, which makes their work straightforward and keeps their fees focused on the year-end advice rather than data entry. If you do not use an accountant, you can use other HMRC-compatible software to file the Final Declaration. Your quarterly submissions remain valid regardless of which route you use.

SimplifyMTD was built by landlords who were tired of seeing fellow landlords quoted fees two to three times their normal tax return cost just to comply with MTD. Whether you are a small landlord with one property or managing several, MTD for property income does not have to be complicated. We built something genuinely simple so that anyone can use it, tested on our own families to make sure. No accountant needed, just a straightforward lower cost way for small landlords to meet their HMRC obligations.
SimplifyMTD can be used as Excel bridging software for landlords. If you keep your income and expenses in a spreadsheet, you can upload your Excel file directly and SimplifyMTD will read the totals, or you can simply enter the summed figures manually into the software. Either way, SimplifyMTD submits them straight to HMRC.
No, and that's exactly why we built SimplifyMTD. Under Making Tax Digital, HMRC calculates your tax automatically based on the income and expense figures you submit. You don't need someone to do that calculation for you anymore. HMRC does it.
What landlords have traditionally paid accountants for — gathering the figures, submitting them to HMRC, and filing the annual return — is now something you can do yourself.
Yes. SimplifyMTD connects to HMRC using their official Making Tax Digital API — the same secure connection used by major accountancy software. When you sign in with your Government Gateway details, that happens entirely on HMRC's own website. We never see your password or login credentials at any point.
Your income figures are transmitted directly to HMRC over an encrypted connection. HMRC calculates your tax entirely on their side — we never store your tax calculation or share your financial data with any third party.
No. Quarterly submissions are simple income and expense summaries.
HMRC calculates your tax after your Final Declaration, which replaces the Self Assessment return.
