Zoho Books introduced a Landlords edition tailored for UK property owners on July 29, 2026, enabling landlords to manage rental income, expenses, and compliance with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital (MTD) rules. The new edition is available starting with Zoho Books’ free plan, aiming to simplify accounting and tax submissions for landlords across the UK, both VAT-registered and non-VAT-registered, according to zoho.com.
The Landlords edition integrates features that allow users to manage individual properties, track rental income and expenses, and submit quarterly updates directly to HMRC within the software. This development addresses the challenges landlords faced with scattered receipts, manual spreadsheets, and tax filing complexities. Zoho’s update aligns with the phased implementation of HMRC’s MTD for Income Tax regulations, making compliance more straightforward and less costly for property owners.
The launch comes amid increasing regulatory demands on landlords in the UK to maintain accurate digital records and submit timely tax information. Zoho Books’ solution competes with other property management and accounting software by offering a free entry-level plan with built-in compliance features. This move could influence how landlords manage their portfolios and meet government requirements, potentially reducing reliance on external accountants and manual processes.
Zoho Books’ Landlords edition is now live and accessible to UK landlords, marking a significant step in digitalizing property accounting. The software supports end-to-end accounting needs and compliance reporting, reflecting HMRC’s digital transformation efforts that began phasing in MTD for Income Tax rules earlier this year.
