Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is Coming: Are You Ready?

28 August 2025 - Simon Pinion

The landscape of UK tax compliance is transforming, and your business needs to be ready. While VAT-registered businesses have already navigated the Making Tax Digital transition, a major new wave is approaching that will impact thousands of self-employed individuals and landlords.

What is changing? From April 2026, Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self-Assessment (MTD for ITSA) becomes mandatory for anyone with business or property income exceeding £50,000. This threshold drops to £30,000 from April 2027, bringing even more businesses into scope.

The promise? Streamlined tax reporting, fewer errors, and better compliance.

The reality? Success depends entirely on having robust, digital-ready bookkeeping systems in place.
