Making Tax Digital (MTD)

Don't miss out - when will it impact you?

April 2022 – All VAT-registered businesses, regardless of turnover, are required to comply with Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT. This means they must keep digital records and submit VAT returns using MTD-compatible software.
April 2026 – Sole traders and landlords with annual business or property income exceeding £50,000 must comply with MTD for Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA). They will need to maintain digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC through approved software.
April 2027 – The MTD for ITSA requirement will extend to sole traders and landlords earning over £30,000 annually, following the same digital record-keeping and reporting obligations.

4 steps to success - How does MTD work

Step 1

Businesses, sole traders, and landlords must maintain digital records of their income and expenses using MTD-compatible software. This eliminates paper-based record-keeping and ensures accurate financial data.
Step 2

Taxpayers must use HMRC-approved software to manage records and submit updates. This software connects directly to HMRC, ensuring compliance and streamlining submissions.
Step 3

Instead of an annual tax return, taxpayers must send quarterly summaries of income and expenses to HMRC. These updates help businesses track their tax liabilities throughout the year.
Step 4

At the end of the tax year, a final declaration (formerly the Self-Assessment tax return) confirms income and allows for adjustments before the final tax bill is calculated. This ensures all tax obligations are met.
