Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: What SMEs Need to Know in 2026

Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax is one of the biggest changes to hit self-employed people and landlords in years. From the mandation date, affected taxpayers will need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using compatible software.

The good news? With the right cloud accounting setup, MTD becomes routine rather than a burden. Digital bank feeds and automated categorisation mean your records stay up to date throughout the year.

If your qualifying income is above the threshold, now is the time to get your systems in order. We help clients choose the right software, set up their books and stay comfortably compliant.

Speak to us about a free review of your current setup and we'll map out exactly what you need to do before the deadline.
