Navigating Making Tax Digital (MTD) Regulations
Making Tax Digital (MTD) – VAT & Income Tax Support
Simplify your tax responsibilities with expert help from RGR Payroll & Accounting Services.
What Is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC’s move to modernise the UK tax system. It means keeping digital records and submitting tax information through MTD-compatible software, rather than relying on traditional once-a-year tax returns.
It’s designed to make tax reporting more accurate, efficient, and easier for individuals and businesses.
Who Is Affected?
MTD affects you if you are:
VAT-registered
A sole trader or landlord earning over £50,000 (from April 2026)
Earning over £30,000 (from April 2027)
If you fall into one of these groups, you’ll need to switch to digital record-keeping and start submitting updates to HMRC more frequently.
MTD for VAT (Already Live)
If you're VAT-registered, you should already be following MTD rules. This includes:
Keeping digital VAT records
Filing returns using MTD-compatible software
💡 Not sure if you’re fully compliant? We can review your setup and help you get everything in order with minimal fuss.
MTD for Income Tax (Coming 2026)
From April 2026, MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (MTD ITSA) will apply to:
Sole traders and landlords earning over £50,000
From April 2027, it will include those earning over £30,000.
Key changes under MTD ITSA:
Keep digital records of income and expenses
Send quarterly updates to HMRC
Submit a final declaration at year-end
We understand this sounds like a big shift, but with the right support and systems in place, it can actually help you stay more in control of your business finances.
