Landlord Tax Ledger

Your rental properties. Your expenses. Your tax return. All in one place.

Keep track of rental income, allowable expenses, mileage and property certificates throughout the year. When January comes, your figures are ready for Self Assessment.

  • Know exactly what your rental properties are earning.
  • Never lose track of a deductible expense.
  • Know which Self Assessment figures to enter.

Example figures. Mortgage interest gets a 20% tax credit rather than coming off your profit, and the ledger shows that too.

Never miss a gas safety check

Letting without a valid gas safety record is a criminal offence, and councils can fine landlords up to £30,000 for missing electrical checks. The ledger keeps every date for every property in one place, so nothing slips.

  • Every certificate and check: gas safety (yearly), electrical report (every 5 years), EPC (10 years), boiler service, smoke and CO alarms, insurance, deposit protection and tenancy end dates.
  • Due dates worked out for you: enter when it was last done and the next date appears, marked in date, due soon or overdue.
  • A “coming up” list on your overview shows what needs booking in the next 60 days.
  • A compliance checklist and score for each property, from deposit protection to Right to Rent, so you can see what’s missing.
  • An evidence pack for each property: one download with its certificates, checklist and records, ready if a tenant, agent or council asks.

Built by a UK landlord, for small landlords

I built this to do my own return. It’s for landlords who do their own Self Assessment and want their records right without paying for big property software.
