FAQs – MTD Support for Sole Traders & Landlords

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is HMRC's system for reporting eligible self-employment and property income using compatible software. It involves keeping digital records, submitting quarterly updates and completing the relevant year-end tax reporting process.
The requirements are being introduced in stages. Generally, sole traders and landlords with qualifying gross income from self-employment and property above £50,000 entered the system from 6 April 2026, those above £30,000 are due to enter from 6 April 2027, and those above £20,000 from 6 April 2028. Eligibility, qualifying income and exemptions should be checked against the latest HMRC guidance.
Qualifying income generally means gross income from self-employment and property before deducting expenses or tax allowances. Where you have both business and rental income, the relevant sources may need to be combined when checking the threshold.
If you are required to comply with MTD for Income Tax, you generally need HMRC-compatible software to maintain digital records and submit the required information. We can help you understand your options and choose a system suited to your needs.
Quarterly updates are summaries of your business or property income and expenses submitted to HMRC through compatible software. They help keep your tax records up to date during the year but do not, by themselves, replace the year-end tax return or finalisation process.
