UK Tax: Support for multiple MTD returns from one account.
We are a firm of accountants and have a number of husband and wife landlord clients who own rental property jointly.
Will one version of the software be able to split the rental figures and submit two MTD returns, or will they need their own version of the software each and have to manually halve the figures where the income is paid into one joint bank account?
It would be so much easier if the software could automatically halve the figures and submit two MTD returns.

Hi team, sorry we've not updated this idea sooner. I'm pleased to let you know that this is now possible with Xero!
You can now connect up to 5 businesses for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT) for one organisation in Xero, making use of Xero's Tracking feature.
We have some information on Xero Central, as well as a webinar to help run you through and set this up.

Absolutely agree with this. The alternative appears to be three subscriptions and reposting data manually. We have quite a few clients looking at alternative software because of this.

In April 2026 HMRC will require landlords to send quarterly account information under MTD, it would be really helpful if Xero could support this.
