Who is affected?
Self-employed individuals and landlords with a total business or property income above £50,000 will need to follow MTD rules from April 2026. Those with income between £30,000 and £50,000 will follow from April 2027.
What changes?
Instead of a single annual Self Assessment tax return, you must use MTD-compatible software to keep digital records and send quarterly updates of your income and expenses to HMRC.
Key Deadline: 6th April 2026
If your 2024/25 tax return shows turnover >£50,000, you are in the first wave. Failing to use digital software from this date could result in HMRC penalties.
