Recognised by HMRC for Making Tax Digital
LandlordFile
A filing tool for individual landlords who keep their rental records in a spreadsheet. You upload the spreadsheet, check the quarter's figures and send the quarterly update to HMRC. It covers quarterly updates for UK property income only, so the year-end return needs other software.

HMRC’s software list says LandlordFile covers UK property income, though it does not say whether LandlordFile can send your tax return. What HMRC’s list says
Who LandlordFile suits
Landlords with two to ten UK properties who already keep good spreadsheet records, landlords who want the lowest yearly cost for quarterly updates and will file the year-end return elsewhere, and landlords who would rather pay for each quarterly filing than take out a subscription.

Good to know
HMRC's software list shows LandlordFile as bridging software for UK property income with quarterly updates; it does not list the tax return, and the pages checked describe quarterly filing only, so both plans are named as quarterly updates only and the year-end return needs other software. You upload an Excel or CSV spreadsheet with a row for each rent payment or bill, check the totals and send them. LandlordFile says it is right for individual landlords with 2 to 10 residential UK properties and not yet for lettings through a limited company or partnership, so it is shown only for that range. We show the annual plan's full price of £29 a year; a launch offer makes the first year £19 for anyone who joins by 7 February 2027, and nothing is charged until HMRC accepts the first filing. Self-employment income, joint ownership, a bank feed, receipt capture, mileage, accountant access, mobile apps and furnished holiday let handling were not found on the pages we read, so we do not show them.

‘Not stated’ means LandlordFile’s own pages said nothing about it either way when we checked.
