FREE: ARE YOU MTD-READY? THE 12-POINT CHECK FOR UK LANDLORDS

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is live. If you're a UK landlord, this free 12-point check tells you in five minutes whether you're actually set up correctly — or heading for a £200 penalty.

WHAT YOU GET (FREE)

The 12-Point Readiness Check (2 pages, PDF)

A straight yes/no audit covering the things that actually catch landlords out:

• Qualifying income vs profit — the distinction that decides whether MTD applies to you at all

• Whether HMRC has enrolled you (spoiler: it hasn't — that's your job)

• Whether your records meet HMRC's digital record-keeping standard

• The cumulative quarterly update rule most people misunderstand

• The mortgage interest trap that costs higher-rate landlords four figures a year

• How the penalty points system works before you find out the hard way

Score yourself at the end and see exactly where your gaps are.

WHO THIS IS FOR

No spreadsheet skills needed. No jargon. Just the checks that matter.
