The first step in getting ready for Making Tax Digital is to have some sort of digital software in place, drop me a message if you need help

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is on its way. 📣

From April 2026, sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000 from self-employment and property need to use MTD for Income Tax for record keeping and quarterly updates. 📅

From 18 November 2025, identity verification becomes a legal requirement.

This date is not a deadline. It marks the start of a 12-month transition period, giving your company time to make sure all directors and people with significant control (PSCs) have verified their identity by their due dates.

Read more on how we’re supporting businesses to prepare for identity verification ⬇️ (Link in comments).

📌 Making Tax Digital is coming in April 2026 👈

For who?
If you are a sole trader or a landlord and your turnover exceeds £50,000 you'll be required to submit quarterly self-assessments digitally to HMRC.

How?
This means keeping accurate digital records of income and expenses up to date on HMRC compatible software and sending a quarterly filing of profit and loss to HMRC and then a final self assessment return at the end of the tax year.

Why?
It will help HMRC and sole traders keep an eye on their potential tax liability throughout the year - but will inevitably involve being a LOT more organised as well as ensuring regular compliance to avoid any fines or penalties.
