From April 2026, HMRC is rolling out the Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax scheme. This means if you’re self-employed and earning over £50,000 from self-employment or property, you’ll need to switch to a digital tax reporting system. Currently, this threshold stands at £30,000, so this is a significant change.
