FAQs
Making Tax Digital FAQs
Answers to common UK questions about Making Tax Digital, MTD for Income Tax, MTD for VAT, landlords, sole traders and accounting software.
Making Tax Digital, often called MTD, is HMRC’s system for keeping tax records digitally and submitting tax information through compatible software.
MTD for Income Tax applies to many sole traders and landlords registered for Self Assessment with qualifying self-employment or property income above the relevant threshold.
MTD for Income Tax starts from 6 April 2026 for qualifying income over £50,000, from 6 April 2027 for income over £30,000, and from 6 April 2028 for income over £20,000.
Yes. Landlords with qualifying property income above the relevant threshold may need to follow MTD for Income Tax rules.
Yes. Sole traders with qualifying self-employment income above the relevant threshold may need to keep digital records and submit updates using compatible software.
Yes. Gondal Accountancy helps landlords in Birmingham check whether MTD applies, set up compatible software, organise rental income and expenses digitally, and prepare for quarterly updates.
Yes. We help sole traders and self-employed individuals move from paper records or spreadsheets to MTD-compatible bookkeeping software, with support for quarterly updates and year-end tax finalisation.
Most VAT-registered businesses must keep digital VAT records and submit VAT returns using compatible software, unless an exemption applies.
MTD changes how records and updates are submitted, but you will still need to finalise your tax position for the year through the required year-end process.
Quarterly updates are digital summaries of income and expenses submitted to HMRC during the tax year using compatible software. They help keep records updated before the year-end tax position is finalised.
You need software that is compatible with MTD. This may include cloud accounting software such as Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage or suitable bridging software.
Some taxpayers may continue using spreadsheets if they are connected to suitable MTD-compatible bridging software, but the digital link and submission process must meet HMRC requirements.
MTD for Income Tax is based on qualifying income from self-employment and property, not profit. This means your gross income is considered when checking whether you are over the relevant threshold. We can review your Self Assessment figures and confirm when the rules are likely to apply.
HMRC says it will review Self Assessment returns and write to taxpayers who need to use Making Tax Digital, but it remains your responsibility to check whether the rules apply. If your self-employment or property income is near the threshold, it is worth checking early rather than waiting for a letter.
Yes. An accountant can help check whether MTD applies, set up software, organise digital records, support quarterly updates and assist with year-end tax submissions.
