MTD for Income Tax

Prior to the Autumn Budget, there was hope that the new Labour Government might further delay the introduction of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT).

By Debbie Franklin, Director of Tax and property tax specialist

Prior to the Autumn Budget, there was hope that the new Labour Government might further delay the introduction of Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for IT). However, such hopes were dashed on Budget day, with confirmation of the previously-announced timescales and an additional announcement that individuals with income from trading or property over £20,000 will be mandated to comply with MTD requirements in future. The mandate timescales are as follows:

  • From April 2026: MTD for IT to be mandated for landlords and self employed individuals with turnover over £50,000.
  • From April 2027: MTD for IT to be mandated for landlords and self employed individuals with turnover over £30,000.
  • At a later date (TBC): MTD for IT to be mandated for landlords and self employed individuals with turnover over £20,000.

Complying with the requirements of MTD for IT will involve keeping business records in specialist compatible software and then using that software to submit the business results to HMRC on a quarterly basis.

The introduction of MTD for IT is just over one year away, so now is the time to start thinking about the changes it will bring to your business. We are here to help, so please talk to us to find out how MTD for IT will affect you!
