BrightBooks now supports Excel-based quarterly imports for foreign property businesses across the full tax year. You can import Q2, Q3, and Q4 data directly from your bridging spreadsheet — the system automatically reconciles any changes made to prior-quarter figures at the same time, so your cumulative year-to-date totals stay accurate without manual adjustments. Each import is carried out on a per-property basis, with clear validation to ensure all properties are correctly registered before the import proceeds.

If you have enabled simplified 3-line accounting for your foreign property business, the quarterly return supporting report now reflects this. The report displays a separate summary block for each property, showing rent income, foreign tax paid, consolidated expenses, and net profit or loss per property, followed by overall totals across all properties. You can view or print the report in either format — simplified 3-line or the standard detailed breakdown — depending on the method selected for that quarter.
