What is Making Tax Digital? Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC's move to quarterly digital reporting. The goal is fewer errors and a clearer picture of tax during the year — but it does mean new habits for most businesses.
Who it affects From April 2026, sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000 must file quarterly. The £30,000 threshold follows in April 2027.

Better support. A fee that makes sense.
