Making Tax Digital encourages the use of digital account-keeping, helping to make accounting and tax returns as quick and easy as possible.
As of April 2026, any individual with a gross income over £50,000 (based on a 2024/25 self assessment tax return) will be required to comply with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
Starting from April 2027, this threshold will be lowered, with any individual with a gross income of over £30,000 will also be mandated to submit their self assessment tax return using Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. There will then be further rollouts for lower thresholds in the coming years.
If you fall into any of these income brackets, you will need to start taking action to align your accounting with Making Tax Digital for Income Tax as soon as possible.
