Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax — What It Means for You

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will require many self-employed people and landlords to keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software, replacing the single annual return for those in scope.

We get you ready for MTD for Income Tax, set up compatible software and digital records, and handle your quarterly updates and year-end declaration, so the switch is painless and you stay compliant from day one.

MTD for Income Tax is being phased in from April 2026 for those with higher self-employed and property income, and later for lower thresholds, so getting your digital records and software ready ahead of your start date is key.

The Detail That Matters

How Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Works

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax will require many self-employed people and landlords to keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates using compatible software, replacing the single annual return for those in scope. Getting ready ahead of your start date is key.

What MTD requires

Instead of one annual return, those in scope must keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC through compatible software, plus a final year-end declaration. It is a significant change in how you report.

When it starts

MTD for Income Tax is phased in from April 2026 for those with combined self-employed and property income over £50,000, then April 2027 for income over £30,000, with lower thresholds expected to follow.

Software and digital records

You will need compatible software and digital record-keeping. Setting this up early, rather than at the last minute, makes the change painless and keeps you compliant from your start date.

Managing the quarterly cycle

We set up the software and records, handle the quarterly updates and the year-end declaration, and confirm exactly when MTD applies to you, so the transition is smooth.

The big shift is from one annual return to quarterly digital reporting, and being unprepared risks penalties; getting your software and records ready before your start date is what avoids a last-minute scramble.
