Why Photographers Rely On Us
Trusted by thousands of photographers across the UK
RentalBux finally gave me peace of mind.
Even after trying several tools, I was struggling with my portfolio of three rentals. MTD just added to that struggle. But then, I was introduced and all my worries disappeared. MTD submissions in minutes, track each property separately, allocate profit sharing. Wow!
Built for landlords, used by landlords.
As a landlord managing 12 units across two ownership structures and some self-employment income, I needed something that handled everything. RentalBux was the only software that did that.
Time saved.
Switching to RentalBux was one of the best decisions I made. Especially the joint-ownership module. Our family property had three owners with different shares, and RentalBux handled it quite efficiently.

Feel the Difference RentalBux Makes
Real challenges wedding photographers face, and how RentalBux solves them
| Challenges Wedding Photographers Face | How RentalBux Solves It |
|---|---|
| Wedding income arrives in stages (booking deposits, interim payments, and final balances), making it hard to keep records accurate throughout the year. | RentalBux records deposits, staged payments, and final balances in one place, keeping your photography income accurate and HMRC-ready. |
| Gear purchases, software subscriptions, travel costs, marketing spend, and outsourcing fees often sit across multiple cards, apps, and inboxes. | Upload receipts or connect your bank account to automatically categorise photography-specific expenses, ensuring no deductions are missed. |
| Busy wedding seasons followed by quieter months can distort quarterly figures and create confusion when filing MTD updates. | Automatically calculated totals account for seasonal income patterns, so your MTD submissions stay consistent and compliant. |
| MTD requirements, quarterly submissions, and the final declaration can feel overwhelming for photographers without accounting experience. | Step-by-step workflows, reminders, and HMRC-recognised submissions remove the stress from quarterly updates and year-end reporting. |
Making Tax Digital (MTD) requires self-employed wedding photographers to keep digital records and submit quarterly tax updates using HMRC-approved software like RentalBux.
Yes. If your total self-employed photography income exceeds the HMRC MTD threshold, you must comply even if photography is a side business.
HMRC looks at your total gross self-employed income from photography and any other self-employed work, not per wedding or per client.
Allowable expenses include camera gear, lenses, software subscriptions, travel, insurance, marketing, education, second shooters, editing services, and studio costs.
Non-compliance can lead to HMRC penalties for missed submissions or incorrect records. Using HMRC-recognised software helps avoid fines and filing issues.
