Does Making Tax Digital apply to you?

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is being introduced gradually for sole traders and landlords. The rules depend on your total qualifying income from self-employment and property, before expenses.

  • 6 April 2026

    Qualifying income over £50,000

  • 6 April 2027

    Qualifying income over £30,000

  • 6 April 2028

    Qualifying income over £20,000

Qualifying income generally includes your combined gross self-employment and property income. HMRC uses income reported for the relevant earlier tax year to determine when you must join. Exemptions and special circumstances may apply.
