HMRC’s Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD) is changing how self-employed individuals and landlords report their income.

From April 2026, most self-employed people and landlords earning over £50,000 will need to keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC using approved software.

We make sure you’re ready — with simple, compliant solutions that take the stress out of digital tax.

​

​

What Is MTD for Self Assessment?

​

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is part of HMRC’s plan to modernize the UK tax system.
Under MTD for Self Assessment, you’ll need to:

​

• Keep your income and expense records digitally

• Use HMRC-recognized software (like Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent)

• Send quarterly updates instead of one yearly Self Assessment return

• Submit a final declaration at year-end

 

It’s a big change — but with the right setup and support, it can make managing your taxes easier and more accurate.

Up Coming Changes – What You Need to Know

​

• In April 2027, anyone with income over £30,000 will be required to follow MTD for Self Assessment.

• In April 2028, that threshold drops to £20,000, bringing more self-employed people and landlords into the digital regime.

• Once in scope, final declarations must be submitted via HMRC-recognised software (not the older HMRC Self Assessment online service).

• It’s more important than ever to adopt good digital recordkeeping habits now and choose software that will grow with you.
