Making Tax Digital made simple
Keep digital records, submit VAT returns, and stay MTD-compliant — all from one simple app built for UK tradespeople.
What is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital is HMRC's programme to move the UK tax system online. Instead of filing a single annual return, businesses and sole traders keep digital records throughout the year and submit updates quarterly.
MTD for VAT is already mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses. MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) starts April 2026 for sole traders and landlords earning above £50,000.
MTD for VAT
Mandatory for all VAT-registered businesses. Submit VAT returns through HMRC-recognised software.
MTD ITSA — income over £50,000
Sole traders and landlords with income above £50,000 must use MTD software and submit quarterly updates.
MTD ITSA — income over £30,000
The threshold drops to £30,000, bringing more sole traders and landlords into the MTD regime.
