What is MTD?

HMRC's digital tax revolution

Making Tax Digital (MTD) is HMRC's initiative to modernise the UK tax system. It requires businesses and self-employed individuals to keep digital records and submit tax information to HMRC using compatible software — like Tax Amigo.

MTD for VAT has been mandatory since April 2019 for most businesses. MTD for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA) is being rolled out from April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with income over £50,000.

  • Mandatory for VAT-registered businesses
  • Required for ITSA from April 2026 (£50k+ income)
  • Digital record-keeping required
  • Quarterly submissions to HMRC
  • Replaces traditional Self Assessment
