Making Tax Digital for income tax (MTD IT) will become mandatory for many sole traders and landlords from 6 April 2026. It will change how you keep records and report income, and it will affect the way you plan your cashflow and manage deadlines. The timetable and thresholds are now confirmed, and the Autumn Budget 2025 has added some easements to the penalty regime rather than delaying the start date.
This guide explains who must join in April 2026, what MTD IT actually involves, and the practical steps to take now so you are ready before the 2025/26 tax year ends.
Companies House has started rolling out mandatory identity checks for directors and people with significant control (PSCs). These checks form part of a wider programme of Companies House reform under the Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023, designed to improve the reliability of information on the public register and reduce the misuse of UK companies. This guide explains who needs to verify, how the process works in practice, what you need to do for your own roles and what happens if you miss your due date.
