You can’t submit UK landlord income and sole trader income together in one quarterly update. HMRC requires a separate quarterly update for each income source.
In Sage Sole Trader, this means you need a separate business instance for each income source.
Use one business for your sole trader income, and another business for your UK landlord income.
If you only need one income source, you can use one free Sage Sole Trader instance.
When you need more than one income source, keep one instance on the free plan and add the other as a paid business instance.
If you share ownership of a property, each owner needs their own subscription. Sage uses the ownership percentage you enter during setup to calculate your share for submission.
If you already use another Sage product, such as Sage Accounting, for VAT, you can continue using that ledger for VAT.
To avoid mixing income sources, separate your records by business/income source. Keep UK landlord income in its own business so you can submit it separately.
For MTD for Income Tax, record your UK landlord income in a separate business so you can submit it separately.
Use Not applicable category for any accounts you don't want to report to HMRC.
Sage Sole Trader suits UK landlords with straightforward needs. If you need advanced property management features, you need a different setup.
