Making Tax Digital, made easy for you

Making Tax Digital

HMRC is digitising Income Tax reporting for sole traders and individual landlords already registered for Self Assessment. If your qualifying income for the 2024/25 tax year was over £50,000, there’s new rules for how you report information for Income Tax.

Instead of submitting a single Self Assessment tax return once a year, sole traders and landlords with qualifying income will need to:

  • keep digital records of income and expenses in software that works with HMRC’s Making Tax Digital for Income Tax service
  • send quarterly updates that summarise income and expenses
  • submit tax returns by 31 January.
