Making Tax Digital (MTD)

What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?

Making Tax Digital is HMRC’s new digital tax system designed to modernise the UK tax process.

Under the new rules, businesses and self-employed individuals will eventually need to:

  • Keep digital accounting records
  • Use HMRC-approved software
  • Submit quarterly updates to HMRC
  • File digital tax returns online
  • HMRC’s aim is to reduce errors and improve tax reporting.

Who Will Be Affected by MTD?

MTD is already mandatory for many VAT-registered businesses.

The next phase will affect:

  • Sole traders
  • Self-employed individuals
  • Landlords
  • Small business owners

If your business income exceeds the HMRC thresholds, you may soon need to comply with MTD for Income Tax.
