Making Tax Digital for Income Tax for UK landlords

Sage Sole Trader and Sage Accounting both support UK property income for Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax. If you have both sole trader and landlord income, you must keep them separate.

Sage Sole Trader and Sage Accounting both support UK property income functionality for MTD for Income Tax.

HMRC MTD for Income Tax rules require separate quarterly updates for sole trader income and UK property income.

You can't combine them into one MTD update or one ledger in Sage products.

If you have both income types, you can record them as separate businesses under the same Sage Sole Trader subscription. Alternatively, use a Sage Sole Trader Free subscription for one income stream.
