Making Tax Digital is mandatory from April 2026. Your landlords need a compliant path - and your agency should not have to become a tax advisor. Nexus connects your existing client accounting data to HMRC so landlords can submit quarterly updates in a few clicks - with zero new processes for your team.

Built by Landlord Studio - established in 2014 and trusted by thousands of landlords - Nexus is the MTD submission layer built specifically for agent-managed landlords. It integrates with Reapit, PayProp, SME Professional, Alto and LettsPay. Every qualifying landlord gets a compliant path to MTD without your agency changing how it operates. And for every landlord who activates, your agency earns recurring monthly commission.

The Making Tax Digital problem for letting agents

Your landlords are about to face a new quarterly tax obligation - and right now the data they need is sitting in your client accounting platform.

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax becomes mandatory from April 2026 for landlords with qualifying income over 50,000 pounds. The threshold drops to 30,000 in 2027 and 20,000 in 2028. Every landlord your agency manages who meets those thresholds will need to submit quarterly updates to HMRC using approved software. Most of the data they need already exists in your rent statements and client accounting records.

Your landlords will ask you about MTD - and you need a clear answer

When April 2026 arrives, your landlords will start calling your office asking what they need to do about Making Tax Digital. Without a clear recommended solution, your team will spend hours directing landlords to generic tax software that cannot connect to your platform - and every question that comes back is time your team does not have.

Landlords re-entering your data into separate software creates errors that bounce back to you

When landlords manually take figures from their rent statements into a separate tax software product, mistakes happen. Figures get transposed. Expense categories are wrong. Incomplete submissions trigger HMRC queries. Those queries often come back to your agency first - creating extra work for your team from a compliance obligation your landlord owns, not you.

MTD is a relationship opportunity your competitors may take before you do

The agencies that get ahead of MTD - giving landlords a clear, agent-aligned solution before the deadline - will strengthen landlord relationships at a time when landlords are making decisions about whether to self-manage. The agencies that leave landlords to find their own MTD software lose a touchpoint and risk losing the instruction.

Generic tax software does not connect to your platform and cannot use your data

Most MTD software products are designed for self-managed landlords or accountants working with manual records. They cannot access the structured rent and expense data your platform already holds. Landlords using generic software have to export, reformat and manually re-enter data every quarter - four times a year, for every property, indefinitely.

How Nexus works for letting agents

One connection. Your client accounting data flows into a landlord MTD portal. Landlords submit to HMRC directly. Your agency earns recurring commission.

Nexus is activated inside your existing client accounting or payments platform. Once enabled, your rent statements and expense data flow automatically into a secure landlord portal for each qualifying landlord. Landlords review their data, categorise any additional expenses, and submit their quarterly update directly to HMRC. No exporting, no re-entry, no new processes for your team.

1

Integrates with your existing platform

Nexus connects to Reapit, PayProp, SME Professional, Alto and LettsPay - the platforms most UK letting agencies already use for client accounting. Activation does not require a new system, a data migration or any change to your existing workflow. Your team continues to use the same platform. Nexus adds a layer that takes that data to HMRC.

2

Landlords are invited and onboard themselves

Once Nexus is enabled on your platform, you invite qualifying landlords to activate their Nexus portal. Landlords receive an invitation, accept it, and their property income and expense data starts flowing automatically from your platform into their Nexus account. No onboarding call required from your team. No training. No technical work.

3

Landlords review, categorise and submit quarterly

Each quarter, landlords log into their Nexus portal to review the income and expense data already populated from your platform. They can add any additional allowable expenses paid directly - such as mortgage interest or insurance not processed through your accounts. Once satisfied, they submit the quarterly update directly to HMRC, or invite their accountant to submit on their behalf.

4

No tax responsibility is transferred to your agency

Nexus is structured so that the landlord (or their accountant) submits directly to HMRC. Your agency provides the data it already holds - rent received, expenses deducted - and the submission responsibility stays with the landlord. Your team does not become a tax adviser. You provide the connection to the data, not the compliance advice.

5

Recurring revenue per landlord, automatically

For every landlord who activates Nexus through your platform, your agency earns recurring monthly commission. It is calculated and distributed automatically as part of the monthly billing cycle. No invoicing, no tracking, no administrative work from your team. Commission begins the month a landlord activates and continues for as long as they remain active.

6

Accountants can access the portal on behalf of landlords

Many landlords work with an accountant to manage their tax affairs. Nexus provides a dedicated accountant portal that allows the landlord's accountant to access the transaction data, review it, make adjustments based on their professional knowledge, and submit the quarterly update directly to HMRC on the landlord's behalf. The accountant sees the structured data from your platform - not a spreadsheet export.

Getting your landlords MTD-ready with Nexus

From activation to first HMRC submission - in the fewest possible steps for your team.

Nexus is designed so that the work of MTD compliance sits with the landlord, not with your agency. Your team enables the integration, invites landlords, and then the platform handles the quarterly cycle automatically.

1

Enable Nexus in your existing platform

Install Nexus from the Reapit AppMarket, or activate it from the settings menu in PayProp, SME Professional, Alto or LettsPay. No data migration required. No change to your existing accounting processes. Activation takes minutes.

2

Invite qualifying landlords

Send invitations to the landlords in your portfolio who are likely to have qualifying income. Landlords receive an invitation, set up their Nexus account, and their data starts flowing in automatically. Your team's involvement ends at the invitation.

3

Data flows automatically each quarter

Every quarter, the rent income and expenses from your platform populate each landlord's Nexus portal without any action from your team. Landlords receive a notification that their quarterly data is ready to review. The quarterly cycle runs in the background of your existing operations.

4

Landlord submits to HMRC and you earn commission

The landlord (or their accountant) reviews, adjusts if needed, and submits directly to HMRC from Nexus. Your agency earns recurring monthly commission automatically. You have supported your landlord's MTD compliance without adding a single new process to your team's workload.

Frequently asked questions

Questions letting agents ask before activating Nexus.

What platforms does Nexus integrate with?
Nexus currently integrates with Reapit, PayProp, SME Professional, Alto and LettsPay. Agents on these platforms can activate Nexus directly - Reapit agents install it from the Reapit AppMarket, while PayProp agents activate it from the settings menu. If your platform is not yet on this list, the Nexus team can confirm the current integration roadmap and expected timeline.
Does activating Nexus mean our agency takes on tax advisory responsibility?
No. Nexus is structured so that the submission responsibility stays with the landlord or their accountant. Your agency provides the rent and expense data you already hold through your client accounting platform - the same data that appears on landlord statements. The landlord reviews that data in Nexus and submits directly to HMRC. You are providing a compliant data connection, not tax advice.
How does the commission model work?
For every landlord who activates a Nexus subscription through your agency, you earn recurring monthly commission. The commission is calculated and distributed automatically as part of the monthly billing cycle - no invoicing, no tracking and no administrative work required from your team. Commission begins the month a landlord activates and continues for as long as they remain an active subscriber.
Can landlords use Nexus with their accountant?
Yes. Nexus provides a dedicated accountant portal. Landlords can invite their accountant to access their Nexus account, where the accountant can review the transaction data from your platform, make any professional adjustments, and submit the quarterly update to HMRC directly on the landlord's behalf. For landlords who prefer to have their accountant handle MTD, Nexus fully supports that workflow.
Which landlords in our portfolio are affected by MTD?
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax applies from April 2026 to landlords with qualifying income - rental income plus any self-employment income combined - above 50,000 pounds per year. The threshold reduces to 30,000 in April 2027 and 20,000 in April 2028. The Nexus team and your Kerfuffle account manager can help you identify which landlords in your portfolio are likely to be affected at each threshold as part of the activation discussion.
What does Nexus cost landlords?
Nexus is a per-landlord monthly subscription paid by the landlord. The subscription covers unlimited transaction processing, automated expense categorisation, HMRC quarterly report generation and submission, UK-based customer support, and automatic software updates. There are no hidden fees or usage limits. The commercial terms for the Kerfuffle member route - including current pricing and commission rates - are confirmed during the activation review with your account manager.
Is Nexus available as a standalone product for landlords to sign up to directly?
No. Nexus is exclusively available through participating letting agents. It relies on agent-managed rent statement data and cannot operate without an agent relationship in place. Landlords cannot sign up independently. This means your agency controls the relationship and earns the commission for every active subscriber in your portfolio.
How do we get started as Kerfuffle members?
Use the member offer button on this page. Your Kerfuffle account manager will connect you with the Nexus team, confirm the integration path for your specific platform, and review the commercial terms - including the commission model and what activation looks like across your landlord portfolio - before you commit. The platform demonstration shows the full landlord and accountant journey so your team understands what landlords will experience before you invite them.
Why the timing matters for letting agents

MTD is not optional. The agencies that get ahead of it will protect their landlord relationships. The ones that leave it late will spend 2026 fielding compliance queries.

The MTD deadline is April 2026 for the first tranche of landlords. In a market where landlord retention is already under pressure, being the agent that proactively solves a new regulatory burden is a meaningful differentiator. Nexus gives letting agencies a way to answer the MTD question before landlords ask it.
