Does Tenarize help with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax?
You can connect FreeAgent and have rent and costs post to your books each night, split by property — or export CSVs, which count as a valid digital link either way.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is already live, mandated from 6 April 2026 for qualifying income over £50,000, dropping to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028. Qualifying income is gross rent before expenses, so four properties at around £1,100 a month already crosses the first threshold — that's well inside the Starter tier.
MTD's requirement is that figures aren't re-keyed by hand, not that they travel over an API. Tenarize gives you two ways to satisfy that. You can connect FreeAgent from your profile page and have rent, late-payment interest and maintenance costs post into your own books each night, attributed to the right property. Or you can export a rent report CSV and a maintenance expense CSV, both with UK tax year presets — a downloaded CSV imported into your accounting software is a valid digital link too.
Worth knowing: FreeAgent is the only direct integration so far — there's nothing for Xero or QuickBooks yet. The CSV exports work with all of them.
