What’s MTD all about?

HMRC is changing the way tax returns work. Here's how...

What actually is MTD?

MTD is HMRC’s move to digital tax filing.

No more paper returns or clunky systems — just quicker, simpler submissions online. It’s all about making tax more accurate and less stressful.

Who does it affect?

You, from April 2026.

Making Tax Digital for sole traders earning over £50,000 kicks in from April 2026. That might sound far off, but it’s worth getting sorted early. If you earn less than £50,000 per year, MTD is coming to you soon too so get prepared now!

What is changing?

You’ll need to submit via compatible software.

With Coconut, you’re already sorted. You’ll also submit updates of your income and expenses every quarter, not just once a year.

No surprises.
No last-minute panic.

Making Tax Digital is on its way — and while the big switch isn’t happening just yet, the best time to get ready is now.
