Making Tax Digital

MTD is here. We'll get you compliant.

HMRC's Making Tax Digital programme moves the UK tax system fully online — digital records, approved software, direct submissions. If you're still on spreadsheets or paper, the clock is ticking.

When does MTD affect you?

MTD for VAT is already in force for all VAT-registered businesses. MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) is now rolling out:

From April 2026

Income over £50,000

Sole traders and landlords with annual business and/or property income above £50,000.

From April 2027

Income over £30,000

Threshold drops — many more sole traders and landlords brought in scope.

The threshold applies to your total gross income across all businesses and rental properties combined — even if no single source reaches that figure. Not sure if it applies to you? Get in touch.

What you'll need to do

01Keep digital records using HMRC-approved (compatible) software
02Submit a summary of income and expenses to HMRC every quarter
03Finalise your tax position at year-end and submit a final declaration

Spreadsheets and paper won't cut it. You'll need approved software — and the knowledge to use it accurately.
