Making Tax Digital

Making Tax Digital (MTD) will affect most businesses by changing how business records are kept and how tax information is sent to HMRC.

The first stage of MTD was for VAT returns, and we have successfully helped our VAT registered clients to meet their MTD obligations.

 

The next stage, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for ITSA), will become mandatory for certain self-employed individuals and property landlords from 6 April 2026 with the further expansion of the qualifying business on 6 April 2027. We will be able to recommend suitable software and help you prepare.

 

MTD for Income Tax for partnerships and limited companies will follow at a later date, and we will keep you informed of any news that affects you.
