SmartScanit MTD keeps your digital records from a photo, works out your quarterly figures, and sends them straight to HMRC from your phone through your own Government Gateway. Built for landlords — one property or a portfolio. Four screens. No spreadsheets, no bridging software.
It depends on your turnover. Once you're in, you keep digital records and send HMRC four updates a year plus a final declaration — through recognised software.
Every sale, cost and journey kept digitally — not in a drawer.
Four a year, cumulative, on HMRC's dates: 7 Aug · 7 Nov · 7 Feb · 7 May.
Sent through software HMRC has recognised for MTD — not a form, not a spreadsheet.
Year-end confirmation of the figures, by 31 January.
SmartScanit records what HMRC actually expects from a landlord — rent kept per property, mortgage interest relief applied the right way, repairs split from capital improvements, agent fees and service charges kept separate.
Photograph the letting statement, the invoice, the mortgage certificate. SmartScanit reads it, categorises it and saves the record — per property. Bank exports match and categorise themselves. Mileage from postcode to postcode.
Four screens. That's the whole app — and every one of them in your language.
Records, live totals.
The next deadline, in plain words.
Check, connect, submit.
HMRC's in-year estimate.
A text ten days before each deadline. Your cumulative figures, worked out from your records. One tap to send — from the app, through your own Government Gateway. No spreadsheets, no bridging software.
After every quarter, HMRC's in-year estimate of what you owe — with your 20% mortgage interest tax reduction applied.
We'll text and email you the moment it's live, in your language.
Recognition is in progress. Until it's confirmed we won't take payment, and the "send to HMRC" step isn't switched on. Registering now just puts you first in line.
No — and that's the point. Your figures are built from your records, you check them, and you send them from the app through your own Government Gateway. Nobody else touches your HMRC account.
The four quarterly updates come first. The end-of-year final declaration follows in a later release, before the 31 January deadline.
If you turn over £30,000+ you're in from April 2027; £20,000+ from April 2028. Keeping digital records now means no scramble later, and you'll have a full year of history when you join.
SmartScanit records finance costs separately and applies them as a 20% tax credit against your bill, the way HMRC requires for residential landlords — not as a straight expense against rental income.
Yes — this release is built for UK property income. If you also have self-employment income you'll need our general or trade-specific portal for that side of things too.
