Making Tax Digital for Income Tax: What You Need to Know in 2025
From April 2025, the way many people in the UK report their income to HMRC is changing. If you’re self-employed or earn money from rental property, you may soon need to follow Making Tax Digital (MTD) rules for Income Tax Self Assessment (ITSA).
🔍 What’s Changing?
If you earn over £50,000 from self-employment or property:
- You’ll need to keep digital records
- Use approved software
- Submit quarterly updates to HMRC (instead of one yearly tax return)
Those earning between £30,000–£50,000 will follow in 2027.
✅ Why It Matters
MTD aims to make tax easier and more accurate, but it also means more frequent reporting and possibly new software to learn.
💡 What You Can Do Now
- Check if your income qualifies
- Start keeping digital records
- Choose MTD-compatible software
- Ask an accountant or advisor if you need help
