Good to know
- These are the dates for landlords who own in their own name. A limited company files and pays corporation tax on dates set by its own year end.
- Selling a rental home? Capital gains tax is reported and paid within 60 days of completion, whatever the time of year. GOV.UK explains it.
- Making Tax Digital dates only apply once you've joined it. It started in April 2026 for the highest incomes and reaches more landlords in 2027 and 2028.
- Checked against GOV.UK on 10 October 2026. Dates can change at a Budget; when they do, this page and the calendar change too.
