What is MTD for ITSA?
Making Tax Digital for Income Tax Self Assessment replaces the annual Self Assessment tax return with quarterly digital submissions to HMRC. It applies to self-employed people and landlords above income thresholds.
If you earn over £50,000 from self-employment or property, you must be ready by April 2026. That means using compatible software and submitting four updates a year plus a final declaration.
