Making Tax Digital exemption?

Hello, I am an older overseas landlord and due to my age, 80 years, I have recently experienced severe health issues.

In fact, if it wasn’t for a fast emergency response from my local hospital, I most likely would not be here today. I had a severe bout of COVID which left me with blood clots running round my system. This resulted in deep vein thrombosis and a pulmonary embolism.

Having read an account of another landlord’s successful efforts in obtaining an exemption from Making Tax Digital, I thought I would try for the same through my UK accountant.

He sent a letter on my behalf, asking for an exemption on the grounds of age, health and ease of computer application issues. I am happy to say that I have just received a letter granting me an exemption on the above grounds. So if there are any other landlords out there in the same or similar situations, I would advise them to try for an exemption. You never know; you could be successful. It is worth a try.

Have there been any more successful stories of landlords gaining a Making Tax Digital exemption?

Thanks,

Patricia
