HMRC Making Tax Digital 2026: Fast Facts
Who is affected?
Self-employed individuals and landlords with a total business or property income above £50,000 have followed MTD rules since April 2026. Over £30,000 join from April 2027, and over £20,000 from April 2028. Income here means turnover, before expenses.
What changes?
You keep digital records in software that works with MTD, send HMRC an update of your income and expenses every three months, and still send one tax return after the year ends.
Next date: 6 April 2027
If your 2025/26 tax return shows turnover over £30,000, you join MTD from 6 April 2027. Not sure? Check with HMRC or your accountant.
