Making Tax Digital 2026

Self-Assessment is changing this April

IN-SYNC are here for you, every step of the way

What is changing?

Making Tax Digital is a mandatory change that HMRC are putting in place, to modernise how you keep your records and submit your tax returns.

This isn't just a small change, it's a complete shift in how HMRC wants to receive your tax information. The goal is to make tax administration more efficient, reduce errors, and give you a clearer real-time picture of your tax position throughout the year.

Key Changes You Need to Know:

  • Quarterly submissions will be replacing annual self-assessment for eligible individuals
  • Digital record-keeping becomes mandatory by HMRC
  • MTD-compliant software is required to submit your returns
  • Phased rollout based on your qualifying income levels
  • Plus a final end-of-year declaration
 

When Will MTD Impact You?

MTD is being phased in by HMRC based on your qualifying income. That's your gross income from 
self-employment and/or property, before expenses.

Individuals earning over
£50,000 annually must comply

Threshold drops to
