From April 2026, thousands of sole traders, landlords and the self-employed will face new legal requirements for how they report and manage their tax.
If your income from self-employment or property exceeds £50,000, you will be legally required to:
Keep digital records
Submit quarterly updates to HMRC
Use approved software to stay compliant
What is Making Tax Digital and what does it mean for you?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is the Government’s plan to overhaul the UK’s tax system by requiring more frequent, digital tax reporting.
The goal? Fewer errors, faster reporting, and improved transparency.
But for you, it means:
- New processes to adopt
- New software to choose and integrate
- More frequent deadlines to stay on top of
