Trusted by thousands of UK resident landlords with foreign propertiey
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our services and solutions.
Yes. If you’re a UK tax resident earning rental income from overseas properties and your total qualifying income exceeds £50,000, you must comply with MTD for Income Tax from 6 April 2026. You’ll need to <a href="/blogs/what-are-you-required-to-do-under-mtd-for-income-tax">keep digital records and submit quarterly updates and a final declaration</a> through HMRC-recognised software like RentalBux.
It’s gross qualifying income.
Yes, if you don’t report foreign property income correctly under MTD, you could face HMRC penalties for inaccurate or late submissions. You may also risk double taxation if foreign tax paid isn’t properly recorded or claimed.
Some landlords may qualify for digital <a href="/blogs/when-does-making-tax-digital-for-income-tax-start">exemptions</a> under HMRC rules. Exemptions are available for those who:
Have health or age-related challenges that make digital record-keeping difficult.
Hold religious beliefs that prevent using digital tools.
Experience limited internet access or technical difficulties due to location.
Landlords meeting these criteria can apply for an MTD exemption, but most UK property owners, including those with foreign rental income, must still maintain digital records and submit quarterly updates and the year-end final declaration.
Non-UK resident landlords with UK rental income may need to comply with Making Tax Digital (MTD) if they have a UK National Insurance number and their UK property income meets the MTD threshold. However, MTD will not be mandatory for non-UK residents with a National Insurance number until April 2027, even if their gross qualifying income exceeds £50,000. They are exempt from MTD and will continue to file Self-Assessment tax returns each year as normal.
