When it starts
Who needs to join, and when.
MTD for Income Tax is coming in stages for sole traders and landlords. When it starts for you depends on your income.
Qualifying income is your gross self-employment income plus gross property income, before expenses, for the tax year shown. Exemptions and individual circumstances can affect whether and when MTD applies. Source: HMRC guidance. Last reviewed .
| Qualifying income | In tax year | MTD applies from |
|---|---|---|
| Over £50,000 | 2024/25 | 6 April 2026 |
| Over £30,000 | 2025/26 | 6 April 2027 |
| Over £20,000 | 2026/27 | 6 April 2028 |
What MTD involves
An annual job becomes a year-round rhythm.
Once MTD applies to you, there are four things to keep on top of through the year.
Digital records
Your income and expenses need to be kept digitally, not on paper.
Compatible software
Your records need to be in software that can send updates to HMRC.
Quarterly updates
A short summary goes to HMRC every three months.
Year-end return
After the tax year ends, your final figures are confirmed with HMRC.

FAQ
MTD questions, answered.
Clear answers before you decide what support is right for you.
What counts as qualifying income?
It’s your self-employment income and your property income added together, before you take off any expenses.
Who decides whether I need to join?
HMRC does, based on the income in your tax returns. Our checker gives you a good idea, but it isn’t tax advice.
Are MTD quarterly updates included in the sole trader package?
Yes, in MTD Managed (£69 a month), which includes four quarterly updates, MTD software and your year-end final declaration (one-off MTD setup £75). Landlords in MTD have Landlord MTD (£59 a month).
Does MTD apply to Corporation Tax?
No. HMRC has said it doesn’t plan to bring in Making Tax Digital for Corporation Tax.
