Is MTD Giving You a Headache?

By graham, 25 April, 2026

"Making Tax Digital" (MTD) is coming, and let's be honest, it's causing a few sleepless nights for self-employed individuals and landlords.

It's not about if you'll need new software and new processes—it’s about when and how you'll get ready. If your annual income (before costs) is over:

  • £50,000, you start quarterly digital reporting from April 2026.
  • £30,000, you start from April 2027.
  • £20,000, you start from April 2028.

That's a huge shift. Instead of a single annual return, you'll be submitting quarterly revenue reports digitally, meaning you must use compliant software like QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, or FreeAgent.

Feeling Overwhelmed? You're Not Alone.

Are you staring at that list of software and wondering:

  • "Which one is right for my business?"
  • "How do I actually record the money coming in and going out?"
  • How can I do bookkeeping and what needs to be recorded?
  • "What documentation does HMRC actually require?"
  • "How do I make sure I'm totally MTD compliant without becoming a full-time bookkeeper myself?"

If you're asking these questions, you need more than just software—you need a mentor and a plan.
