MTD for Income Tax lands on the agent-managed landlord book first and hardest. Nexus by Landlord Studio is the agent-channel answer: a branded portal for every landlord, data pulled automatically from the platform you already use, and a commission paid to your office every month they stay subscribed. Zero workflow change. Zero tax-advice risk.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax landed for landlords earning over £50,000 in April 2026. The £30,000 threshold follows in 2027, and £20,000 in 2028. Quarterly digital submissions. Compatible software required. Penalties for late or wrong filings. Your landlords are reading the same HMRC letters you are — and they're going to call their letting agent first.
Once a landlord brings in an accountant, the accountant starts answering all the property questions too. You lose the relationship.
Saying yes turns your lettings team into part-time tax advisors. Saying no pushes the landlord toward a competitor who'll say yes.
You hold the data. The landlord knows you hold it. They expect you to make it work for MTD — without paying you extra for the privilege.
MTD is the moment a self-managed landlord considers moving to fully managed — or away from your patch entirely. You need a reason for them to stay with you.
Nexus is built for letting agents, not for landlords directly. It's only available through an agent partner — so your landlord can't go around you. Once you provision their portal, the rest runs in the background.
Each managed landlord gets an invite to a portal styled around your office. Their rent, expenses, deposits and ownership data are already there when they log in.
Connects to Reapit, Alto, PayProp, SME Professional, LettsPay or your client accounting platform. Income and deductible expenses flow in and categorise automatically.
Landlords (or their accountants) review the auto-categorised data, sign off, and file the quarterly MTD update straight to HMRC. No third-party software, no spreadsheets.
Higher-value landlords can invite their accountant into Nexus to make adjustments and file on their behalf. You keep the relationship — they get the specialist help they expect.
Subscriptions are provisioned, billed and (when needed) deactivated inside your existing workflow. The subscription is recorded as an expense in the landlord's Nexus once they accept.
Your office earns a commission per active landlord per month, calculated and paid automatically in the monthly billing cycle. Starts the month they activate. Continues for the lifetime of the subscription.
Works alongside the platforms you already run
No tax advice. No new system to run. No extra workload for your property managers.
Authorise the API connection to Reapit, Alto, PayProp, SME Professional or LettsPay. The Nexus team handles the setup.
Send invites in bulk or one by one. Each landlord receives a branded portal pre-loaded with their data.
They (or their accountant) categorise, review and submit the quarterly MTD return from inside Nexus. You do nothing.
Nexus bills the landlord directly. The subscription is automatically recorded as a deductible expense in their Nexus account.
Every active landlord pays your office a revenue share, every month, for as long as they stay on Nexus.

How letting agents using Reapit, PayProp, SME Professional, Alto and LettsPay can support landlords through MTD while creating a new recurring revenue stream — without becoming tax advisors and without changing a single workflow.
What impressed us most about Nexus is how it removes the friction from MTD compliance. Because it integrates directly with our existing CRM, we didn't have to change a single internal process. It's so intuitive and easy to explain that our landlords "get it" immediately.Maxine Lester Maxine Lester Lettings and Property Management, Cambridgeshire
