I help sole traders and landlords get set up and stay compliant with Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax.
MTD is HMRC’s way of moving income tax reporting to a fully digital system. If you’re self-employed or receive rental income, it means keeping digital records and sending updates to HMRC throughout the year instead of just completing a yearly return.
For many people, especially those using spreadsheets or manual records, this can feel a bit confusing at first — and that’s where I come in.
I help make the whole process simple, clear, and manageable, so everything is set up properly and nothing is left to chance.
📅 When MTD for Income Tax Starts
HMRC is introducing Making Tax Digital for Income Tax in stages:
- From April 2026: Self-employed individuals and landlords with income over £50,000
- From April 2027: Those with income over £30,000
- From April 2028 (expected): Those with income over £20,000
This means more sole traders and landlords will gradually be required to keep digital records and submit updates using approved software.
