What Landlord Vision supports
Landlord Vision covers almost all landlord scenarios, including:
- UK property income and expenses
- Overseas property business (where applicable)
- Non-property income and expenses (captured separately from properties)
- Losses, loss claims, and end-of-year adjustments
- Finalisation and post-finalisation amendments
Yes. The final declaration brings property income together with the wider personal tax items that sit outside property, including PAYE, dividends, savings interest, pension contributions and common tax reliefs.
Yes. Landlord Vision supports entering non-property income, including investment income, under the MTD journey. In practice, these entries are recorded using the relevant non-property income categories and not assigned to a property, so you can keep investment income cleanly separated from your rental business while still being able to report it through MTD.
Yes. Landlord Vision also supports entering non-property expenses under the MTD journey, again captured in the correct non-property categories rather than against a property. If something sits in a grey area (partly personal, partly business, or unusual), support can advise the right treatment to ensure your reporting stays consistent and compliant.
Yes. Landlord Vision reports UK and overseas property as separate property businesses, which is how HMRC expects them to be treated. Each has its own quarterly updates. Overseas tax paid is handled through Foreign Tax Credit Relief at the final declaration. If your overseas setup is complex, contact support and we will confirm how to structure it.
Yes. LV2 includes a dedicated Losses area where you can manage brought-forward losses and loss claims. Where ordering matters (e.g., carry-sideways claims), LV2 supports sequencing.
Yes. LV2 supports unlocking post-finalisation changes and running the correct amendment flow (so you're not stuck if something changes).
If your setup isn't clearly covered in this FAQ, contact support with:
- What income types you have (property / overseas / dividends / interest / etc.)
- Whether you're self-filing or using an accountant
- Any unusual ownership (joint ownership, changes in-year, etc.)
We'll confirm coverage and advise the cleanest route.
Training, support and migration
Yes. We run MTD training webinars and we'll continue adding dates. The first one is scheduled for March 10, 4PM. You can register here:
Yes new sessions will be in announced in April 2026, date to be confirmed soon.
Migration from Legacy to LV2 – Only for Legacy Users
MTD is being delivered on LV2. If you're on Legacy and need MTD, you'll need to move to LV2 to use the integrated MTD features.
- Reach out to our sales team via noel.murphy@landlordvision.co.uk to discuss your options and the exclusive rates available to valued legacy customers.
- Move to LV2 (so you're on the MTD-ready platform)
- Use our training webinars/recordings
- If you have a specialist scenario (overseas, complex reliefs, etc.), talk to support early so you're not scrambling near a deadline.
Mostly yes — the bulk of your operational data (properties, portfolios, transactions, categories) will migrate, and for most customers that's enough to be MTD-ready once they're on LV2. What won't migrate 1:1 is anything that's specifically tied to the old platform's MTD attempts or any MTD authorisations/obligations (those are LV2/HMRC-flow specific), and some customers may need a quick post-migration review of category mappings (especially non-property items) and any historical coding quirks before submitting. If you're concerned your setup is unusual, support can quickly sanity-check what you'll need after migration.
Legacy and LV2 structure some reporting differently, and MTD is LV2-native. That means MTD authorisation/obligations don't "transfer" — they're set up fresh once you're in LV2.
