From April 2026, self-employed individuals and landlords with an income of more than £50,000 will be required to keep digital records and provide quarterly updates on their income and expenditure to HMRC through MTD-compatible software. This has been pushed back by the Government from April 2024, allowing more time for both the Self Employed, and the Government to make ready.

Those with an income of between £30,000 and £50,000 will need to do this from April 2027.
