What is MTD for Income Tax?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is HMRC’s new way of reporting Income Tax. Instead of filing one annual tax return, taxpayers submit quarterly updates, personal income, tax reliefs and deductions, and a final declaration digitally — keeping tax information accurate and up to date throughout the year.
Sole traders, landlords and anyone who previously submitted a self-assessment will need to start using MTD for Income Tax if their turnover is over HMRC-stipulated amounts. As soon as you're eligible, HMRC will let you know and you will no longer be able to use the online HMRC self-assessment service. Instead, you'll need to use MTD for Income Tax compatible software such as Easy MTD.

If you have a turnover of £50,000 or more you need to start using MTD for Income Tax from 6 April 2026. Lower turnovers start in subsequent years.
