DO I NEED THIS?
Who needs to use MTD for Income Tax?
MTD for Income Tax is being introduced in stages for sole traders and landlords. If your qualifying income from self-employment and property was over £50,000 in your 2024–25 tax return, you'll need to use it from 6 April 2026. The threshold drops to £30,000 from 6 April 2027, and £20,000 from 6 April 2028. Qualifying income is based on gross turnover before expenses.
