Making Tax Digital (MTD) represents one of the most significant changes to the UK tax system in a generation. It's already well established for VAT, and the next phase will soon affect income tax too. MTD for landlords and self-employed individuals is being introduced from April 2026, and preparation is key to ensuring a smooth transition.
From April 2026, landlords and self-employed individuals will be required to follow new digital rules for record keeping and reporting to HMRC. This isn't a minor tweak, it's a fundamental change to how millions of people manage and submit their tax information.
