WHO IS AFFECTED

Do You Need to Use Making Tax Digital?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is being phased in by income. The dates below apply to the gross income you receive from property and self-employment combined.

From 6 April 2026

In force now

Over £50,000

Landlords above this level are already using the service.

From 6 April 2027

Starting soon

Over £30,000

The next group must be ready in the 2027/28 tax year

From 6 April 2028

Announced

Over £20,000

The threshold falls again, bringing in even more landlords.

Not every individual is mandated. HMRC sets your start date using your tax return, and some individuals are exempt, for example if they are digitally excluded. Use our checker first to see where you stand, then confirm your position with HMRC on GOV.UK.

THE NEW RULES

What Has Changed for Landlords?

Instead of preparing everything once a year after the event, landlords within the thresholds now keep digital records and share short updates with HMRC through the year.

Digital Records

Income and expenses are recorded digitally, in software or in a spreadsheet used with compatible software, rather than on paper.

Quarterly Updates

Four short summaries of income and expenses go to HMRC each tax year. They are not tax returns.

Year-End Return

After the year ends, your position is finalised and your tax return is completed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t give enough praise to the service provided by Simon and his team. They were there to help me navigate an extremely challenging tax situation at a very difficult time in my life following the death of a loved one. The care and compassion was beyond what I had from any other company I was dealing with at this time. But most impressive was their knowledge and attention to detail that ended up cutting a tax bill down to a fraction of the HMRC claim. My only regret was not finding them earlier after wasting money with other advisors that did very little and just took my money.
I would recommend them to anyone!
Keep up the great work.
