One Software for Rental & Self-Employment Income – Simplify Property and Business Accounting.
Manage rental properties and self-employment in one place. Whether you're a landlord with a side business, a tradesperson, or a freelancer, RentalBux tracks both income and simplifies MTD submissions, keeping you compliant without extra hassle or cost.
Trustindex“We used to pay for separate property software and accounting software. It was expensive and we were constantly switching between the two. RentalBux changed everything. Now we track our three rental properties and my consulting business in one place. The MTD submissions are straightforward, and we’ve saved so much time—and money—not having to manage two systems. Honestly can’t recommend it enough if you’re doing both.”

Who Benefits from One Platform for Rental
and Self-Employment?
Whether you're just starting out or managing a portfolio alongside an established business, RentalBux works for landlords with self-employment income who do more than just collect rent.
Landlords Starting a Side Business
You own rental property and have recently started freelancing, consulting or trading. You need simple, reliable software to track both rental income and self-employment income without paying for two systems. RentalBux guides you through setup and keeps you compliant from day one.
Portfolio Landlords with Self-Employment Income
You own multiple properties and run a trade or profession. You need a clear view of performance across both rental income and business income. RentalBux consolidates everything—rental reports, business profit, and MTD submissions—saving you hours each month and eliminating duplicate subscriptions.
Joint Owners Running Businesses
You own property with a spouse, partner or business associate and also earn self-employment income. RentalBux automatically splits rental income and expenses based on ownership percentages while keeping your business income separate. Both co-owners get accurate MTD submissions without manual calculations.
UK Landlords with Foreign Property and Self-Employment
You own rental property abroad and run a UK business. You need to report both foreign rental income and self-employment income to HMRC correctly. RentalBux tracks UK properties, foreign properties and business income separately—ensuring accurate tax reporting under one license.
HMO Landlords with Businesses
You rent out properties with multiple tenants and also run a self-employed business. RentalBux handles multiple rental income sources, manages expenses for both income streams and ensures compliance with MTD requirements. All in one platform, all under one license.
