Making Tax Digital (MTD) Services
At Bidwell Accountancy, we help individuals and businesses prepare for and comply with Making Tax Digital (MTD) with confidence. Whether you are a sole trader, landlord, limited company or an existing client already working with us, our team ensures the transition to MTD is smooth, compliant and stress-free.
Making Tax Digital is one of the biggest changes to the UK tax system in recent years. With new rules, new deadlines and new reporting requirements, having the right accountant by your side has never been more important.
What Is Making Tax Digital?
Making Tax Digital is an HMRC initiative designed to modernise the UK tax system. The aim is to make tax administration more efficient by requiring taxpayers to:
Keep digital accounting records
Use HMRC-compatible software
Submit regular updates to HMRC rather than one annual return
MTD reduces errors, improves accuracy and gives taxpayers a clearer picture of their tax position throughout the year.
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for ITSA)
MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) applies to sole traders and landlords who earn income above certain thresholds.
Start Dates and Thresholds
From April 2026
Individuals with gross annual income over £50,000 from self-employment and/or property rental must comply with MTD for Income Tax.
From April 2027
Individuals with gross annual income over £30,000 will be required to comply.
(Income is based on total turnover, not profit.)
What Changes Under MTD for Income Tax?
Under MTD, affected taxpayers will need to:
Keep digital records of income and expenses
Submit quarterly updates to HMRC
Submit an End of Period Statement (EOPS)
Submit a Final Declaration replacing the traditional Self Assessment tax return
This means more frequent reporting — but with the right accountant and systems in place, it does not have to mean more stress.
