The FHL tax regime ended in April 2025, but holiday lets still need software that handles legacy FHL records and per-property income.
Do you jointly own any property with someone else?
Do you bank with NatWest, RBS, Ulster Bank, or Mettle for your property/business account?
If you do, FreeAgent may be available at no extra monthly software cost.
Do you want to do most of your bookkeeping from your phone?
Are you comfortable keeping your own records in a spreadsheet?
Bridging software can handle the submission, but you still need to keep the underlying records yourself.
What matters most on price?
Keep the dates beside the software decision.
The selector helps with software. The other tools answer when MTD starts for you, which quarterly dates follow, and what needs renewing across your rental properties.
Check when MTD applies
Combine gross property and self-employment income against the phased thresholds.
Find quarterly filing dates
Choose standard or calendar quarters and see the dates that follow.
Track property compliance
Keep common certificate, licence, deposit and Renters' Rights Act dates per property.
