Which landlord software files Making Tax Digital returns?

GetGround, Hammock, Landlord Studio, Landlord Vision and Lendlord can send Making Tax Digital quarterly updates to HMRC (checked 1 October 2026); each comparison says on which plans. Padlord does not file: Plus exports a quarterly summary for your filing software or accountant.

Is there free landlord software in the UK?

Can I use Padlord with my MTD software or accountant?

Yes. Padlord keeps each property's yield, cashflow, compliance dates and documents, and your MTD software or accountant does the filing. On Plus, Padlord exports the quarterly summary they need.
