This will take care of invoicing, accounting and tax compliance all in one place, which is especially useful ahead of new requirements in April.”<h2 id="h-annual-returns-to-quarterly-reporting">Annual returns to quarterly reporting</h2>From April 2026, landlords earning more than £50,000 will be required to keep digital records and submit updates every three months.Lower income thresholds will be phased in over the following two years.The rules effectively replace the traditional once a year self-assessment with a rolling reporting cycle.Industry bodies have repeatedly warned that many landlords and small businesses remain under-prepared.HMRC has already begun writing to affected taxpayers, prompting a surge of queries to agents and accountants alike.Sage said embedding its tech directly into a banking platform could help reduce friction for customers unfamiliar with accounting software.Gordon Stuart, senior vice-president of fintech and embedded services at Sage, said small firms “want to focus on doing what they do best, without the burden of complex admin”.The launch comes amid a wider shift among banks and software providers to position themselves as MTD enablers rather than just payment providers.Sage unveiled its own AI-driven MTD automation tools last year, while accountants warn that manual spreadsheets and legacy systems are no longer compatible with HMRC’s requirement for “digital links” between records and submissions. </div>
