Making Tax Digital — Get Ready Before the Deadline

At BusinessWise Accountants, we speak your language with a team of qualified professionals offering expert accountancy services in over 20 languages.

Understanding Making Tax Digital

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s programme to move tax records and submissions online. It is already live for VAT-registered businesses and is being rolled out to sole traders and landlords in stages.

If you are not prepared before the deadline that applies to you, you could face penalties for non-compliance. BusinessWise Accountants helps clients understand their obligations, set up the right software and stay ahead of each rollout phase.

What Our MTD Service Covers

Our MTD service covers everything you need to comply with confidence: MTD setup and onboarding, digital record-keeping guidance, software advice across Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and bridging software, quarterly submission support, and MTD for VAT, sole traders and landlords — with training and ongoing support throughout.

When MTD Applies to You

MTD for VAT is already live for all VAT-registered businesses. MTD for Income Tax then arrives in phases based on your qualifying income, starting April 2026. There is currently no MTD requirement for Corporation Tax. We will tell you exactly which phase applies to you and when.

Don’t Get Caught Out by the MTD Rollout

The deadlines are real and preparation takes time — from choosing compatible software to getting into the habit of digital record keeping. Leaving it late risks penalties and a stressful scramble. We help you get ready well in advance.

The MTD Rollout Timeline

From April 2026

Sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 must keep digital records and submit quarterly updates.

From April 2027

The threshold drops to qualifying income over £30,000, bringing many more sole traders and landlords into MTD.

From April 2028

MTD extends to those with qualifying income over £20,000. VAT is already live; Corporation Tax is not yet included.
