What is Making Tax Digital (MTD)?
MTD is HMRC’s initiative to modernise tax administration, requiring businesses and individuals to maintain digital records and submit tax information using compatible software. By replacing paper-based systems, MTD aims to reduce taxpayer errors, which HMRC believes contribute significantly to the tax gap—the difference between tax owed and tax paid. Key components include:

MTD for VAT: In place since 2019, requiring VAT-registered businesses to submit quarterly returns via software like Xero.

MTD for Income Tax Self-Assessment (ITSA): Starting April 2026, this will replace annual Self-Assessment tax returns for self-employed individuals and landlords with quarterly digital reporting and an end-of-year declaration.
