Making Tax Digital (MTD) is a key part of HMRC’s plan to simplify and transform the tax system. MTD affects how businesses in the UK maintain their accounting and tax records.

Businesses such are required to submit their VAT returns to HMRC by using MTD compliant software. In April 2020, the MTD scheme was extended to individuals and landlords. From April 2024, self-employed businesses and landlords with business turnover above £10,000 were due to report under MTD for Income Tax, but this measure has been delayed.

From April 2025 general partnerships will join MTD and from April 2024 companies can start using an MTD for Corporation Tax (CT) pilot scheme and from April 2026 companies join MTD for CT.
