Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: a practical checklist
If you are self-employed or a landlord, here is what to prepare before quarterly updates become part of your year.
Oliver Grant
Tax Director
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax changes how self-employed people and landlords report to HMRC, with digital records and regular updates during the year.
Check whether it applies to you
It is being introduced in stages based on income. Check the current thresholds or ask us to confirm when you need to join.
Get your software ready
You will need compatible software to keep digital records and send updates. Moving early gives you time to get used to it.
Build a quarterly routine
Set aside time each quarter to review your records. It spreads the work and avoids a year-end rush.
