What is the qualifying income for MTD?
Sole traders, landlords and self-employed individuals with qualifying income totalling:
- £50,000 from April 2026
- £30,000 from April 2027
- £20,000 from April 2028
Sole traders, landlords, and self-employed individuals meeting these income thresholds will be required to comply with Making Tax Digital (MTD) regulations. This means keeping digital records and submitting regular updates to HMRC using compatible software. Preparing early ensures a smooth transition and helps avoid penalties while improving overall tax efficiency.
MTD Reporting Deadlines
Each quarterly update will be cumulative from the start of the tax year, allowing corrections to earlier submissions if necessary. Quarterly submissions must be made according to HMRC reporting periods.
Despite quarterly reporting, tax payments will remain unchanged. Your tax liability will still be payable by 31 January following the tax year, not quarterly.
| Quarter | Tax Period | Calendar Period | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 6 April – 5 July | 1 April – 30 June | 7 August |
| Q2 | 6 April – 5 October | 1 April – 30 September | 7 November |
| Q3 | 6 April – 5 January | 1 April – 31 December | 7 February |
| Q4 | 6 April – 5 April | 1 April – 31 March | 7 May |

FAQ's
Got questions?
We've got
answers.
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Just ask us directly.
What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is a UK government requirement that businesses keep digital records and submit VAT or tax returns using approved software. If you are VAT registered, MTD is mandatory.
Do taxi drivers need to follow MTD rules?
Yes. If you are VAT registered, you must comply with MTD regulations. Even if you are not VAT registered yet, keeping digital records helps you stay prepared and avoid future issues.
What happens if I miss a VAT or tax deadline?
Late submissions can result in HMRC penalties and interest charges. We manage your deadlines, send reminders, and submit everything on time so you avoid unnecessary fines.
Do I need special accounting software?
Yes, MTD requires HMRC-approved digital software. We set everything up for you and manage the system so you don’t need to worry about technical details.
Can I switch from my current accountant easily?
Absolutely. We handle the entire switching process contacting your previous accountant, transferring records, and registering with HMRC. The process is smooth and stress-free.
