Making Tax Digital for Income Tax (MTD for ITSA) is a major change for self-employed individuals and landlords.
From April 2026, those earning over £50,000 will need to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC using approved software.
In this short video, we explain what MTD is, who it affects, when it starts, and how you can prepare. We also outline how Turpin Barker Armstrong can support you every step of the way, making the move to MTD as simple and stress-free as possible.
