If you are a landlord or sole trader who have not been captured by the first wave of HMRC's Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax initiative, which started in April 2026, it does NOT mean that you are permanently out of scope.

The income threshold for the first wave was set at over ÂŁ50,000 but this is reduced to over ÂŁ30,000 for the second wave - this will be used to determine who will be captured by MTD starting in April 2027 (tax year 2027/28).

What is The Making Tax Digital (MTD) Income Threshold?

Income is the total turnover from self-employment and property rental, before any expenses, deductions, or personal allowances are taken.

Your final reported income for tax year 2025/26 will be used to determine if you have fallen within scope.

If you are a landlord and /or sole trader earning over ÂŁ50,000 a year then you are likely to be captured by HMRC's Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax initiative in tax year 2026/27. HMRC will use the income numbers from your 2024/25 tax return to determine if you have breached this threshold and hence captured by MTD.

What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?

It’s a UK government initiative designed to modernise tax processes, improve accuracy, and reduce fraud.

Here’s what you need to know: (the quick version)

âś… Digital Record-Keeping: Businesses and individuals must keep accurate, up-to-date records using MTD-approved software.

âś… Quarterly Updates: Instead of one annual tax return, MTD requires quarterly updates to HMRC for real-time tax calculations.

✅ HMRC-Approved Software: Say goodbye to manual entries and spreadsheets – all tax submissions must be made via MTD-compliant software.

If you're unsure if it applies to you or it does but you do not what the next step is, contact Spire Accountants to start your Making Tax Digital journey.
