HMRC Expense Tester
Check whether a landlord cost may be repairs, maintenance, capital improvement, insurance, finance cost, professional fee or another category.
Open HMRC Expense TesterSimple, practical tools to help UK landlords understand expenses, finance-cost restrictions and Making Tax Digital readiness before they become urgent.
Built for UK landlords using simple English-language guidance.
These tools are designed for early checks before you update records, speak to an adviser, or decide what to review next. They keep the questions narrow: what kind of expense might this be, how might finance-cost restrictions change the picture, and whether your records look ready for Making Tax Digital thresholds.
Use the results as a prompt to organise evidence, invoices, income records, and notes. Tenaqo keeps that operational context close to rent, maintenance, documents, and compliance work so tax-time preparation is less detached from the rest of the portfolio.
These calculators are intentionally narrow. They are a starting point for better records, not a filing decision or replacement for professional tax advice.
